Jean Pierre Simon, Nightmare, 1810
Conversation
It's clearly based on Fuseli's "The Nightmare." I wonder why the changes: satire? easier to engrave?

I don't know. I just came across it. I assume he's referencing it, but can't tell any more than that

Wow, thanks. The only Fuseli I know is Nightmare--I knew the image and not the painter.

He's fascinating. Kind of proto-Romantic, even proto-Gothic. Big influence in Britain, incl on Blake.
