An ogre (left) holds a large knife and fork in each hand; in the left hand he clutches also the petticoats of a young woman, who hangs horizontally, face downwards but raised in profile to the right, screaming with terror. Her legs and posteriors are exposed, but fastened to the latter is a round shallow pot serving as a shield. The Monster has a large head with raised eyebrows and starting eyeballs, his mouth is wide open as if about to bite his captive. His body diminishes in size and terminates in small feet, planted wide apart. Two young women (right) flee from the Monster, looking back and screaming. The petticoats and foot of a third fugitive appear on the extreme right.  10 May 1790
