Abstract

"An ugly coxcomb leeringly hands a fan to one of two ladies walking off to the right. Behind (left), the heads of three stooping men collide. On the extreme left is the Prince of Wales, opera-hat under his arm, facing a woman, immodestly décolletée, who ogles him. Two other men and two women stand near them. The scene is the foyer of a theatre."--British Museum online catalogue.
