According to Christine Crafts Neal,Hirst's 1890s work,A Gentleman's Table"recalls the 17th-century Dutch tradition of the moralizing(vanitas)still-life composition."The piece has the features of a typical bachelor still life,with pipes,bottles, glasses and cards arranged on a table.According to art historian Martha Evans,works in the oeuvre of contemporaries Peto and Harnett typically condoned the male culture that was represented and rarely offered depictions of alcohol.Evans relates that while Hirst's work was commissioned by a men's club in Chicago,she offers a subtle criticism of the male pursuits of gambling and drinking.Most of the bottles are empty, implying that heavy drinking has taken place.The sugar cubes and sliced lemon suggest that one of the liquors is absinthe,"considered the'cocaine' of the nineteenth century."The overturned bottles, the cards strewn about the table and the abandonment of a pyramidal composition create a sense of disarray in the work.
