- Abstract
-
"The enormously fat Mrs. Hobart sits in profile to the left in a small armchair, her right foot on a stool, her leg exposed. She places round its grotesque girth a ribbon garter, the central part of which is stiffened by a spring. Perched on her hair is a small straw hat with a high silk crown from which a veil hangs down her back. On the wall behind her is a picture: 'Nina', a small thin man kneels before the stout and terrified Nina (who believes him to be the ghost of her lover)."--British Museum online catalogue.
