- Abstract
-
"A grotesquely hideous man, lean and elderly, sits in an armchair addressing a comely young woman who stands demurely (l.), her pose accentuating her pregnancy. Behind them is an empty fireplace; on the chimney-piece is a Venus pudica flanked by cupids, one with a bow and arrow, the other with a torch. On the wall are two pictures; (l.) a cock and hen facing each other like fighting-cocks, and (r.) a horse in the last stage of decrepitude, assailed by carrion birds."--British Museum online catalogue.
