Description
Harley and Agnes having discovered they were half-brother and sister, their marriage is annulled. Harley, in despair, drowns in his wedding garb in front of the Gothic cabinet he had built for his solitary meditations. He is found by his terrified relatives: Agnes, on the left, completely disheveled and distraught, then the three figures watching the scene, from left to right, James Butler, Harley's friend, Madame Vallemont and Major Melrose.
The scene is set at dusk.
