"The monster" (Renwick Williams) attacking a woman with a knife and fork. Etching by J. Gillray, 1790.
A caricature etching shows a wild-haired, open-mouthed grotesque figure in a loose gown lunging forward, gripping a knife and fork, while a startled woman in a long dress recoils at right. Fine hatched lines model the figures and ground, and the caption beneath reads 'The Monster going to take his Afternoons Luncheon.'
