An old man laughing sits in the company of three young women at a table. The cards and wine glass are references to indulgence and debauchery, which include the old man's lust: while one of the women holds her hands over his eyes another unobtrusively gathers together his money and the third woman stows it away in her apron. A young gesticulating couple at the edge of the painting comment on the event. [Carrasco, Exhib. Cat. Düsseldorf 2017, 245, No. 146]
