- Abstract
-
"An ugly old man wearing night-cap, dressing-gown, and slippers stands at an open window gazing up through a spy-glass at a comet shaped like a large shuttle-cock. Keys hang from his waist. Behind him (left) sits a pretty young woman, turning her head to look at the comet, but giving her right hand to a young man who kneels beside her, while she presses her foot on his. She wears a long fur boa over her evening dress."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
