The Honors of the Sitting! A Cabinet Picture 1805

"The Honors of the Sitting!! A Cabinet Picture," created by Charles Williams in 1805, is a satirical print depicting a humorous scene of two men seated at a table, engaged in a meal with various dishes and a three-tiered dessert. The image uses caricature to criticize political figures, referencing the "side board" and "cabinet" in a witty critique of political power and the act of dining together. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this piece, which showcases the use of satire in political commentary and artistic expression.
