"See BM Satires No. 16435. A pretty girl, perhaps the subject of BM Satires No. 16435, lies in a bed drawn close to a fire, indicated by corner of chimney-piece, fender, and guard (left). She is framed in drawn-back curtains, lit by firelight, and is wrapped in a tufted white counterpane from under which one swathed foot extends towards the fire. Her face is framed in nightcap and curl-papers. A cupid-candlestick supports an extinguished candle."--British Museum online catalogue
