- Abstract
-
"An ugly man staggers back, his finger in the beak of a parrot which stands on the open door of its cage which is about to fall from a toppling table. A cat claws at his leg. Two ladies, excited and pleased, watch the calamity, as do a military officer and a woman standing by the door (left). The room is a handsome one with pilastered door, and a large window (right) giving on a garden."--British Museum online catalogue.
