Abstract:
"A comely florid woman, girding up the skirts of her decolletee dress, has dressed up in the cocked hat, jack-boots, and sword-belt of General Junot, and gaily marches beside his bed, flourishing his sword in a gauntleted hand, while she looks over her shoulder for admiration. Junot (right) sits up in bed looking at her angrily, and clutching his breeches, as if afraid she would don those too: her legs are bare above the spurred boots. A cat miaows at her. The bed is curtained and canopied, but a military saddle, hanging from a peg, and a musket show that the general is campaigning."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
