A scene from Horace Walpole's Gothic novel The castle of Otranto, with the characters Isabella and Manfred depicted full-length at center, both facing left. Isabella, who is being chased by Manfred, looks back over her shoulder at him with a worried expression, her arms out in front of her. Manfred, who has just seen the portrait of his grandfather move off the wall behind him, is arched backwards and shielding himself with his right arm, a startled expression on his face as he looks up at the painting that is partially off the wall. A window at left and two chairs behind the characters complete the furnishing of the room
