"A young woman sleeps in her chair, in a handsome library, her hand, holding a pen, resting on a sheet of paper. An elderly man holding an eye-glass to his eye leans over the back of her chair to inspect a paper inscribed 'My dear'. Two lighted candles have broken in half. One leaf of tin large folding door (right) is open; a woman stands outside it."--British Museum online catalogue.
