A scene from Horace Walpole's Gothic novel The castle of Otranto, with the character Frederic seen in the background on the left, peering around a half-open door into an oratory. In the foreground on the right is a figure, completely hidden within a hooded cloak, kneeling at an altar. An open book and a crucifix sit on the altar; light streams in from the window behind it on the right. On the back wall of the room a statue resides within a raised alcove; a chair sits below the statue, and a framed picture hangs on the wall beside it.
