- Abstract:
- "The interior of a luxuriously furnished room, across one corner of which is a large folding screen. Behind the screen (left) a man stands on a chair looking over it, while a footman in livery crouches beside him looking round it at a pair of lovers: a fashionably dressed young military officer sprawls on a sofa, with his arms round the waist of a pretty young woman. On the ground beside them a mandoline lies across a music-book. On a small ornate table are fruit and a bottle. The fire-place, chimney-piece, candelabra, and a landscape in an ornate frame indicate a handsomely furnished room. The man looking over the screen is elderly and dressed in an old-fashioned manner with tie-wig, flapped waistcoat, and sleeves with wide cuffs."--British Museum online catalogue
