Abstract:
In the center of a room Uncle Toby and Corporal Trim kneel on a chair and on floor, respectively, focusing their attention on a table to the right on which a rifle is balanced with the help of books, dishes, mops and a chamber pot. The rifle, pointed at a map of Flanders hanging behind them on the wall, is connected to Uncle Toby's chair with a long string. Uncle Toby is pointing to the contraption with a pistol in his left hand; in his right he holds a broom or a duster. Corporal Trim's pistol lies on the floor. A small dog under the table barks at them. Books and maps of fortifications are scattered on the floor in the foreground, among them a large sheet of paper inscribed, "Intergl [sic] siege, 2 quartos, 2 folios, 1 chamberp[ot], 14 rank & file, 1 mop. Trim lost an eye lash." A few brooms are leaning against the wall on extreme left, behind them is a folding screen. Above it hangs a portrait of a man with a 17th-century hairstyle, dressed in armor
