About this work

A hand-coloured caricature shows a stout man in a blue coat and yellow breeches peering through a red telescope on a tripod at a comet with a human face and feathered hat streaking across the sky. Beneath a radiant sun bearing another face, a line of sailing ships rides at sea, and a speech balloon contains mocking verse.
