- Abstract
-
"The Duchess of Devonshire (right) fights Mrs. Hobart (left). The right fist of the Duchess is near her opponent's nose, her left hand is on her hip. Mrs. Hobart, both fists extended, says: "I'll have no more for my Nose Bleeds"; the Duchess answers: "I have not done yet Madam." A backer stands behind each; Fox (right) says, "Well done Georgiana to her again". A hand extends from clouds holding a laurel wreath over his head. Wray, behind Mrs. Hobart, says, "If she Cant Beat her A Scrutiny Shall". A hand from clouds holds a fool's cap over his head on which is a butterfly and an ass's ear. Behind Wray, holding a cane, stands Lord Hood saying, "Alas poor Judas you will lose ye day". The dishevelled hair of the ladies hangs down their backs: Mrs. Hobart, very stout and 'décolletée', the Duchess, slim and wearing a riding-habit with a coat of military cut. She has two Fox favours in her hat, ostrich feathers (see BMSat 6530), and a fox's brush. The other has feathers in her hair and a large favour inscribed 'Hood & Wray'."--British Museum online catalogue
