- Abstract:
- "The fashionable guests, many being probably portraits and almost all elderly and plain, stand in conversation except for four at a card-table in the foreground, and for a military officer (? Prince Leopold) who lounges on a sofa. The room is bare except for a huge pier-glass and for heavily fringed and draped curtains, and for a bust of Napoleon on a pedestal which dominates the guests. An ugly little embodiment of acrid pedantry gazes up at it. There is an elaborate gas chandelier."--British Museum online catalogue
