- Abstract
-
"During a meal, a man falls back from his stool with arms waving and eyes wide with terror, a black servant behind leans towards him with bared teeth and hands raised to echo his actions, the choking watched with barely concealed delight by a man sitting on the edge of a bed at right, a woman standing beside him clearing the table; after Henry William Bunbury."--British Museum online catalogue
