- Abstract:
- "A satire on pretensions to elegance showing a fine room in which a thin elderly dancing master teaches a stout young woman to dance, while an older woman sitting behind watches them. A man sits strumming a guitar to the left, books and sheets of music lie on the floor; a monkey plays with a fan; a little dog capers on its hind legs behind the dancing pair. On the wall behind are two pictures in ornate frames, one of a dancing couple and the other of a bear dancing with its keeper."--British Museum online catalogue
