"A lady sits on a garden seat in profile to the right, looking through a telescope placed on a small rectangular table. A grinning man standing beside her stares at her through a quizzing-glass. Among the shrubs in the background is a statue of a satyr whose expression is intended to reflect that of the man."--British Museum online catalogue
