- "A bishop (right) standing behind an altar-rail, holds out both hands over the head of a kneeling clergyman. A demon kneels on the ground beside the latter; another has crept under his cassock, from which the tips of two wings project. Over the door is a picture of the Last Supper with Judas as a prominent figure. The lid of a large chest (left) is slightly raised, from it hangs a paper inscribed: "I Suit of Scarlet & Gold, I Suit White & Silver, I Suit Blue & Silver, i Suit Flower'd Silk, i Suit Black Silk, I Black Velvet Surtout." On the Chest is pasted a label: "Left to Messrs Panchauld & Fo . . ." Paris. On the ground is a book, 'A Course of Humanity on Miss S------rs'."--British Museum online catalogue
