A scene from Horace Walpole's Gothic novel The castle of Otranto, with the servant Bianca shown descending a staircase while looking over her right shoulder, a worried expression on her face. Her gaze is directed at the top of the stairs, where a large hand in armor is seen resting on the banister near the landing of the floor above. The arched opening to the landing is flanked on either side with a display of armor and weapons mounted on the wall. Several arched windows and doorways are seen in the shadowy background

Depiction of the dream of Horace Walpole that inspired him to write The castle of Otranto. The fantastic scene involves a large armored hand perched atop an enormous staircase ascending four levels within a Gothic castle. Two suits of armor stand guard at the junctions of the staircase with each level, and two more are present in the foreground, suggesting that the staircase continues downward. Arched windows and a painting of a mounted knight are seen on the wall to the left of the staircase; a bat is seen flying above
