Abstract: "Lady Mount-Edgcumbe as a lean and ragged witch sits in profile to the right on a rocky mound overlooking the sea, her seat being a bundle of brooms. She supports her chin and nose on her right hand, the elbow resting on her knee. Her left arm is outstretched, pointing, her finger-nails are talons. Her hair blows out behind her from a bald forehead, and is on fire, the smoke rising into the sky. A frog at her feet (right) looks up at her. Behind is the sea with ships in full sail, indicating the view from Mount-Edgcumbe, Plymouth."--British Museum online catalogue
