- Depiction: The principal figure in this picture is that of a young officer belonging to the British army opposed to the French legions on the Peninsular. In company with a Portuguese don he has come to visit one of the nunneries which were sufficiently abundant in the country. Three well-favoured members of the sisterhood and a sour-looking old harridan, by way of duenna, have come to the "grill" or large grated window, which was employed to cut off the "cloistered ones" from the rest of the world.
