Abstract:
In the center of a room Uncle Toby and Corporal Trim kneel on a chair and on floor, respectively, focusing their attention on a table to the right on which a rifle is balanced with the help of books, dishes, mops and a chamber pot. The rifle, pointed at a map of Flanders hanging behind them on the wall, is connected to Uncle Toby's chair with a long string. Uncle Toby is pointing to the contraption with a pistol in his left hand; in his right he holds a broom or a duster. Corporal Trim's pistol lies on the floor. A small dog under the table barks at them. Books and maps of fortifications are scattered on the floor in the foreground, among them a large sheet of paper inscribed, "Intergl [sic] siege, 2 quartos, 2 folios, 1 chamberp[ot], 14 rank & file, 1 mop. Trim lost an eye lash." A few brooms are leaning against the wall on extreme left, behind them is a folding screen. Above it hangs a portrait of a man with a 17th-century hairstyle, dressed in armor

Abstract:
"An illustration to Scarron's 'Roman Comique' (1651), Book II, ch. xx. The scene is the room of an inn. Ragotin, almost bald, sits in an upright chair wearing a long sword and jack boots; his legs do not reach the ground. The ram (left), on its hind-legs, is about to butt him. The encounter is watched by a man who leans on the back of his chair, by another seated behind the ram, and by a third standing between Ragotin and a group of two ladies and a man on the right, one being Inezilla, who had just been reading her novel. Behind this group are the curtains of a bed."--British Museum online catalogue
