It depicts a scene from a tavern or street where a group of people are gathered around a drunk man who is being assisted by two gentlemen.

The scene is rendered in a loose, expressive style, capturing the moment in a fleeting but evocative way. Barnard's work often focused on everyday life and social commentary, and this drawing is a testament to his ability to portray human nature in all its complexities.
