Abstract: "The interior of a boarded hut, the inn at Glenelg. Johnson (left) stands by a table, Ogden (see BMSat 7031) open in his right hand, his left held meditatively to his cheek. Boswell (right) kneels beside him, his hands clasped in prayer, his face puckered as if weeping. He wears a hood or bonnet as a night-cap, his legs are bare. Johnson is dressed, wearing slippers; his boots and oak stick lean against the table."--British Museum online catalogue
