- Abstract
-
"The head of Talleyrand with long straggling spider's legs, looks from a dark recess surrounded by a web, towards a fly with Palmerston's head. The latter (left), in profile to the right, looks up at Talleyrand whose face, hair, and cravat form a light spot on a dark background. Fragments of the legs of flies stick in the web."--British Museum online catalogue
