- Abstract
-
Against the wall on two sides of the interior of a ladies' cloak-room at Vauxhall, a bench forms a latrine on which four fashionably dressed ladies are seated. On the right a woman resembling Lady Archer is shown in profile looking to the right as she applies paint to her cheeks in front of a mirror lit by two candles. A young woman seated beside her on the extreme right ties up her garter; this is inscribed 'on things (?) eternal'. She wears a large nosegay. All the women wear hats and have large bosoms and derriè€res except one, whose hair is ornamented with feathers, &c. On the ground are a glove, a nosegay, and papers inscribed 'Dr Leak venereal' [maker of much-advertised pills], &c. The room is lit by single candles in sconces
