Drawing of a scene from the gothic novel The Monk: A romance by Matthew Gregory Lewis. Ambrosio, a Spanish monk seemingly into his moral downfall, approaches Matilda either aggressively or lustfully with both arms raised in the air, a serious countenance on his face. Standing to his left Maltida (first known as Rosario) is wearing the same simple monks' robes as Ambrosio though she has pulled the top aside to expose her bosom and pulled of her hood to reveal her long curly blonde hair and feminine features

"Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) in bed, supported on her right elbow, looks fixedly towards a warming-pan held by a stout woman who approaches the foot of the bed. In the perforations of the pan are stuck three ostrich feathers; a monk, holding up a crucifix, gazes down at it. Mrs. Fitzherbert wears a large frilled cap and a nightdress with ruffles. The fringed bed-curtains are looped up. On the extreme right is part of a draped table on which are a cup, bowl, and a large urn (probably materials for caudle). On the wall are three pictures: one, the 'Royal Hunt', a man galloping beside hounds; this has the motto 'Ich Ich' (in place of 'Ich dien') with three ostrich feathers. It is flanked by two profile heads facing each other: one is 'Wig', the other 'Torey', but they do not appear to be portraits. The carpet is patterned with Prince of Wales's feathers."--British Museum online catalogue
