- Abstract
-
"A grotesque night scene in a churchyard. An old woman has fallen, shrieking, over the ghost, the head and shoulders of a grotesque corpse-like creature, wearing a night-cap, which seem to emerge from the ground on which he folds his arms. An elderly countryman crouches towards her, holding out his lantern. Behind him (left) is a tombstone: 'Here Lies . . .' against the railings of a handsome tomb."--British Museum online catalogue
