[graphic]</dc:title><dc:date>[May 1817]</dc:date><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:description>"One of a set (coloured) by Williams, all with the same imprint (Nos. 12933-6). An imitation of No. 12927; the falling man lies on the ground, his foot (without a spur) gashes a lady's dress from waist to hem; the lady whom he clutches falls forward, kicking a man behind her. All the figures are altered in pose and character and two have been added. The two musicians are on a cloth-covered table, the violinist stands instead of sitting. In the centre of the back wall between two heavily draped windows is a large mirror above a console table with a jar of flowers. The round chandelier is decorated with dragons emitting flames of gas. There is a rolled up carpet (right) showing that the dancing is impromptu."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title from caption below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Sheet trimmed to plate mark on two sides.</dc:description><dc:description>Plate numbered "No. 2" in upper left corner.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
