Abstract:
"A fat lady, much décolletée, whose hair is blazing, in her frantic gestures has overturned a chair; tea- and coffee-things lie on the ground. Screaming servants rush in from the right, headed by two footmen; one holds up a table-cloth to fling over her head, but is hampered by his companion, a negro, who flings the liquid contents of a (?) large flowerpot in her face, but stands on the cloth. A fat cook follows; a pretty young woman kneels on the ground throwing up her arms, a dog howls. Four older servants look through the doorway. Two candles, the cause of the disaster, blaze on the chimneypiece where a clock shows that it is 2.25."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
