- Abstract
-
"An illustration to Scarron's 'Roman Comique' (1651), Book II, ch. xx. The scene is the room of an inn. Ragotin, almost bald, sits in an upright chair wearing a long sword and jack boots; his legs do not reach the ground. The ram (left), on its hind-legs, is about to butt him. The encounter is watched by a man who leans on the back of his chair, by another seated behind the ram, and by a third standing between Ragotin and a group of two ladies and a man on the right, one being Inezilla, who had just been reading her novel. Behind this group are the curtains of a bed."--British Museum online catalogue
