- Abstract
-
"A family, grouped round a small round table, see with consternation that the candle has a large blue flame. They are an elderly woman who is sewing, an elderly man in a smock frock, a youth, a small child, and a dog, whose raised head appears in the foreground. Behind the woman (left) stands a ghost in white drapery, with a beard and corpse-like face, glaring down at the group."--British Museum online catalogue
