"On the floor of a room are six pieces of blue Delft china in the shape of men and women. Descriptions are etched beneath the design, headed "Scene Delft. Dramatis Personae", the first (left) being, "Mynheer Van Vase of an Ancient Etruscan Family long since broken to pieces by ye vile Visigoths in deep love with Miss Cruet but discarded by her". On the walls are pictures in the Dutch manner, two portraits, a still life and a landscape, and in the back wall is a casement window. Across the ceiling is etched, "Collateral branch of the Heidelbergh Family"."--British Museum online catalogue
