A thin man wearing bedclothes and slippers sits on a stool at right, clenching his fists in obvious pain. Three winged demons harass him, one clutching the back of his collar. A well-dressed doctor, wearing spurred boots and glasses, stands before him on the left; two medicine bottles protrude from his jacket pocket, and he holds a third bottle and glass for the patient. Additional bottles and canisters of medicine sit on the table and floor behind the doctor; a skeleton and skull and crossbones are seen above the table

A scene from Horace Walpole's Gothic novel The castle of Otranto, with the character Frederic standing on the right in an oratory, leaning slightly backwards with a shocked expression on his face. Across the room from him on the left stands a skeleton wrapped in a hermit's cowl, its fleshless face visible within the hood and its bony legs and feet sticking out from under the cloak. Behind the skeleton is an altar on which two tall candlesticks and an open book sit; beyond the altar is a crucifix within an arched alcove. Behind Frederic on the right are columns with armorial shields mounted above; an arched window, a bench, and a painting on the wall complete the background

Abstract:
A scene from Horace Walpole's Gothic novel The castle of Otranto, with the character Frederic shown flinching back in surprise and horror at the sight in front of him, his arms outstretched and his legs poised for motion. A short distance to the left stands a skeleton wrapped in a hermit's cowl, its fleshless face seen in profile within a hood as it turns toward Frederic. The skeleton stands at an altar on which a cross and an open book sit; beyond the altar is a large, ornate window decorated with quatrefoils, Gothic tracery, and coats of arms. The walls behind Frederic on the right are decorated in a similar motif
