Bibliographic Details
Summary:	A couple [an absentee landlord and his wife] are depicted seated on a chaise-longue, a table laden with food and wine is depicted to their right, an open window behind them has a view of the Bay of Naples and Mount Etna is erupting on the fartherest shore. The woman is dressed in a pale blue dress, her hair curled. She offers a drink to the man beside her who is wearing a yellow waistcoat, mauve coat and a looking glass around his neck. He is looking up in horror at the ghosts of starving ragged Irish peasants behind her - their right arms are raised, and they are pointing at him.
