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

A scene from Horace Walpole's Gothic novel The castle of Otranto, with the character Frederic seen in the background on the left, peering around a half-open door into an oratory. In the foreground on the right is a figure, completely hidden within a hooded cloak, kneeling at an altar. An open book and a crucifix sit on the altar; light streams in from the window behind it on the right. On the back wall of the room a statue resides within a raised alcove; a chair sits below the statue, and a framed picture hangs on the wall beside it.

"George IV, dressed as a monk, stoops over Lady Conyngham (right), placing a hand on her breast. He is clean-shaven, his whiskers, inscribed 'Transferred Whiskers', form a border to a bald head, giving the effect of a tonsure. She is décolletée, dressed in white, with white drapery from her head, suggesting a travesty of a nun (cf. British Museum Satires No. 5177). He says: "Speak freely thou Cunning-one, and by St George, I will give thee Absolution--(let me see) a Faux-Pas, is no deadly sin, and loving other men, it is our duty to love each other." She says: "Since my Conversion (Holy Father) I feel much lighter you have put a new conscience into me." They are large half length figures, hiding much of the background. Behind the King (left) on a table are wine-bottle of 'Holy Water', goblet, open book, and crucifix. Above this is a picture of asses at table, drinking wine: 'Feast of Asses in honour of Balaam's a[ss]'. Behind Lady Conyngham (right) is a picture of a monk birching the bare back of her husband, who kneels, holding up a cross; on his forehead are large antlers: 'St Francis Doing Penance', placarded 'NB The origin of this Picture may be seen at Hamilton Place' [see British Museum Satires No. 13848]."--British Museum online catalogue
