Modern Antiques — Thomas Tegg|Thomas Rowlandson

Among a collection of Egyptian and classical antiques a young woman is embraced by an officer, who draws her into a mummy case. Also in the room is an elderly man with a monocle who inspects a sarcophagus. On the floor an open book reads: "Loves of the Gods, embell'd with Cuts"
