The Cotters Saturday Night

The image shows a group of people sitting indoors at a wooden table in an L-shape. They vary in age and appearance. On the left, a woman in a bonnet and shawl sits next to a man in a blue jacket. Next to them, a woman in a yellow and white dress holds a book. A young boy with a red jacket and two young girls focus on an older man at the head of the table. The older man reads from a large book in front of a lit candle. The room has wooden beams, shelves with crockery, birds on rafters, and a cat on the floor.
