"The Duchess of Devonshire (left) carries a fat butcher (right), both her arms round his waist, his right arm is round her waist, their faces are in profile looking at each other. She says, "I'll try all measures to bring the matter to a proper Issue"; he says, "Oh! - who can withstand such charms". She wears a large hat trimmed with a 'Fox' favour, laurel branch, and four fox's brushes inscribed respectively, 'Love and \ Liberty \ Delicacy and \ Decorum'.
