- Abstract
-
"The Duchess of Devonshire embraces a good-looking young butcher, their lips are about to meet; her right arm is round his shoulders, with her left hand she slips a purse into his breeches pocket. His right hand is on her waist. Behind him is the butcher's stall with joints of meat, a chopping-block, and cleaver. The stall partly conceals the Duchess of Portland holding by the shoulders another young butcher who turns his back and rejects her overtures. The ladies wear riding-habits and hats trimmed with ostrich feathers and a fox's brush with a large Fox favour."--British Museum online catalogue
