The story concerns a man named Williams who acquires pictures of buildings for the library of an unnamed British university. A London art dealer sends him a mezzotint which depicts a large English country house. At first, Williams is unimpressed by the picture. He says that a lack of figures in the mezzotint is one of its flaws. All of Williams' friends who see the picture, however, think that it is a fine work of art. One of them says that there is a figure in the picture, which Williams did not see. Another says that the figure looks somewhat gruesome. Williams later realizes that the image in the mezzotint is gradually changing. A cloaked figure slowly approaches the house in the picture, enters it and leaves with a small child in its arms.
