Description: “A man reading by candle light leaps up from his chair at the
sight of a troop of fairy figures as they enter from the left foreground and cross
to the right. Behind him stands a large female figure with a skeleton on either
side; in the background a bookcase is surmounted by busts of Shakespeare, Byron, and
a third, unidentifiable. On the extreme left a raven is perched on a helmeted bust
placed on the mantlepiece” (
Surtees 4).
