- Abstract
-
In an elegant room, eleven old women with caricatured faces sit in a semi-circle. A twelfth woman is standing behind the chair of the woman on extreme left and whispers in her ear. A little lapdog stands in the front of the women yapping at them. In the background, the pediment of the door in the center of the wall is decorated with a bust of a woman in contemporary dress, with a crescent in her hair. The walls are hung with pictures, including winged Time and Cupid
