- Abstract
-
"Johnson and Boswell sit at a small circular table in a plainly furnished room. Boswell holds his head, leaning on the table, and pointing with his left hand at an open book inscribed 'Twentieth Sunday after Trinity'; he looks with abject supplication at Johnson, who leans back in his chair, his right hand raised as if speaking oracularly. Boswell's forehead is bandaged, his shoes are unlatched, his breeches unbuttoned at the knee, from his coat-pocket protrudes 'Ogden' (see BMSat 7031). A water-bottle and a bowl are on the floor beside him. Johnson wears his top-boots. Above Boswell's head is a picture of a pig under a vine, suffering from a surfeit."--British Museum online catalogue
