- Abstract
-
"A stout lady wearing a tartan scarf supports the Prince of Wales, who is tipsily waving a lighted (and broken) candle, towards the open door of a bedroom (right). He is dishevelled, with ungartered stockings; his left arm is round the lady's neck. She holds a full wine-glass whose contents are spilling. Behind the Prince's back she snaps her ringers derisively at Lady Jersey, who enters (left), in under-garments and night-cap, saying, "I'll discover the Correspondence in Revenge". The scene is a small ante-room between two bedrooms; in it are a table with bottles and glasses at which is an arm-chair. Behind Lady Jersey (left) is a bed over which is a coronet with the letter 'J', in the other room (right) there is a coronet with the letter 'G' above the bed. Lord Jersey's head and shoulders project from under his wife's bed; he looks towards her, saying, "Upon my Honor I don't think he uses us well after giving me all this trouble for nothing!!" On the wall behind the chair is a circular scrawl indicating a picture inscribed 'D. Manchester'."--British Museum online catalogue
