One oxonian in cap and gown (left) staggers along, full-face, yawning violently. The other (right), in profile to the left, his gown looped over his arms, walks forward with a mincing gait as if dancing. Both are fashionably dressed, the hair of the former is short and dishevelled, that of the other in a looped queue. They are 'a conceited fellow, and a drunken fellow, of different colleges'. 31 december 1796 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1796. Dimensions: Height: 181 mm; Width: 252 mm. Medium: paper.
