"A charming lady, elegantly dressed, plays the harp and sings close to her unconscious husband, asleep in a stiff arm-chair. Pose and expression are both provoked and provocative. Behind her (right) is a square piano with an open music-book, at her feet a lute-like instrument and a music-book. An oval fire-screen protects the man's head from a blazing fire in a fire-place of Adam type. A picture of (?) Apollo with a lyre is in an ornate frame."--British Museum online catalogue.
