- Abstract
-
"The King, Queen, and three princesses are seated at a small dinner-table, on which is a soup-tureen, &c. The King holds a plate on which is an insect, turning round to address angrily a cook (right), who stands trembling beside him. Two alarmed servants stand behind the King's chair. The Queen and princesses make gestures of alarm; one princess (left) has risen from her chair in horror. On the extreme left stands a beefeater holding a jug, who lets glasses fall from a salver in his consternation. A draped window forms a background."--British Museum online catalogue
