Abstract: "A short fat man (left) dressed as a military officer, clasps the inflated petticoats of a thin woman who walks away from him, looking over her left shoulder, her hand raised in a negative gesture. She is much taller than her admirer, and shows a hideous profile, her mouth wide open; her attitude is theatrical. She wears a high cap and the extended petticoats which had recently been fashionable (see BMSat 7099, &c). He looks up at her with a yearning smile. Both are grotesquely caricatured."--British Museum online catalogue.
