- Abstract
-
"John Nash, misery personified, sits on the ground, in profile to the left, hands on knees, chin close to his hands; a harrow with huge spikes rests on his shoulders, and is thus tilted up, while a horse, its head cut off by the left margin, drags it along. Only one corner touches the ground, on a heap of papers, some of which it has spiked up; these are: 'Artists' Gallery', 'Marble Job', 'Lath & Plaister Acct', 'Job' (five times), 'Pimlico job' [Buckingham Palace], 'Regent Street Job', 'Brighton Job' [the Pavilion], 'Suffolk Street Job', 'Woods and Forests Job', 'Windsor Job', 'Brick . . .', 'his Mi . . . Job', 'Mosaic Gold Job'"--British Museum online catalogue
