- Abstract
-
"The Duchess of York (left), full face, dances a minuet with a partner whose figure and profile suggest the Prince of Wales. He faces her, his left forefinger touching her left forefinger, his right arm outstretched, holding his hat. Her dress is cut very low and she displays her tiny feet (cf. BMSat 7930, &c), showing her leg to the knee in a way then considered immodest."--British Museum online catalogue
