"The corner of a house seen from a walled garden. Death throws down a ladder which gave access to a window from which a distraught girl looks out; her lover, a young lieutenant, falls from it towards a pond, while an elderly colonel, the father, fires a blunderbuss towards cats on the wall, the charge being intercepted by the falling man. A prancing dog barks."--British Museum catalogue
