- Abstract
-
"A man, hat in hand, sits on a cat, which was on a low chair beside the fire. His hostess, a lean and ugly old maid, tugs angrily at a bell-rope; another cat sits on the back of her armchair; a dog barks. An ugly (?) maid-servant of similar type enters the room. Before the fire is a round table with work-basket, &c. Against the wall hangs a bird in a cage."--British Museum online catalogue
