Scene from 'The Monastery' by Sir Walter Scott, depicting Sir Piercie Shafton and Mysie Happer. Sir Piercie, in wealthy courtier's clothes and hat, lounges across a wooden chair to the right, by a small table on which is set a bottle of beer and a glass. Demure Mysie Happer, dressed in white, enters from the left, carrying a tray of food for Sir Piercie. There is a heavy wooden door in the background to the right; the background to the left is hidden in a shadow.
