Cartoon shows a snowy landscape where Mr. Punch lies dressed in a turban and wrap at left, smoking a hookah and fanned by a young woman who reclines next to him; at right, a second young woman wearing snowshoes and a loose, wrapped gown pours him a drink, and a small, naked child rolls a giant snowball in the background.
