- Abstract
-
The Count sits in a large chair, a basket of frogs on the floor between his wide-spread legs; he wears a powdered wig under his hat, his uniform, a gold cross on a black ribbon around his neck, high black boots with spurs, and sword at his waist. He is wide-eyed and stiff -- marionette-like -- as he eats a frog. A man servant with a worried expression on his face and wearing a red liberty cap approaches him from the left, holding a tray labeled "Fricasee of Frogs". From the right, a woman, her face mostly obscured by her large head scarf, carries a bowl labeled “Soup meager”.
