Abstract:
"A collection of antiques, real or faked, Egyptian and classical. A buxom young woman opens a hinged mummy-case (left) to embrace a handsome young officer in regimentals who stands within it. An aged man crouching down (right) glares at them through an eye-glass in frenzied malevolence. Another mummy has a realistic head, and there is a life-like statue of an Egyptian wearing a head-dress and loin-cloth. There are also a satyr and smaller figures of Egyptian gods. On the wall are grotesque satyrs' masks and on a high shelf are Greek or Etruscan vases. On the ground is a book: 'Loves of the Gods Embelld with Cuts'."--British Museum online catalogue

(4) Elegantly dressed, she holds out heavily shackled wrists: 'A Prisoner'. (5) Similarly dressed, she raises a forefinger and holds a fan before one eye: 'A Loose Fish.' (6) She dances, Maenad-like, snapping thumb and forefinger, as 'Barras's Mistress' [see British Museum Satires No. 10369]. (7) She wears a military tunic and plumed helmet, and holds a riding-switch as 'A Generals Lady.' (8) Walking in profile to the left. holding out a sceptre and wearing a jewelled gown and a crown, she is fat and vulgar as 'An Empress' [see British Museum Satires No. 10362]."--British Museum online catalogue
