This composition depicts the same children as those in its pendant except that the elder boy is absent. The broken capital behind the drum-playing small boy and the mirror held by his sister are symbols of vanity and decay. Object Type: painting. Date: 1730. Dimensions: 64.3 x 76.5 cm. Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Museum Wales. A Tea Party, William Hogarth, 1730
