- Abstract
-
"She stands directed to the left, holding a pointer with which she slyly points to a picture of Suzanna and the Elders. She is old and grotesquely ugly, wearing a hat over a frilled cap, an apron, and bunched-up skirt. Her left hand is on her hip, a large key dangling from the fourth finger. A corner of the room is shown, the pictures fitted closely together; three rows are depicted, hung above a dado; a fourth is indicated. The pictures are very freely drawn, and one at least is burlesqued."--British Museum online catalogue
