Abstract:
"Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) in bed, supported on her right elbow, looks fixedly towards a warming-pan held by a stout woman who approaches the foot of the bed. In the perforations of the pan are stuck three ostrich feathers; a monk, holding up a crucifix, gazes down at it. Mrs. Fitzherbert wears a large frilled cap and a nightdress with ruffles. The fringed bed-curtains are looped up. On the extreme right is part of a draped table on which are a cup, bowl, and a large urn (probably materials for caudle). On the wall are three pictures: one, the 'Royal Hunt', a man galloping beside hounds; this has the motto 'Ich Ich' (in place of 'Ich dien') with three ostrich feathers. It is flanked by two profile heads facing each other: one is 'Wig', the other 'Torey', but they do not appear to be portraits. The carpet is patterned with Prince of Wales's feathers."--British Museum online catalogue
