- Abstract
-
"Lord Galloway, standing in profile to the left., extends both arms in order to clap vigorously. The words "Bravo! - Bravo!" issue from his tightly-closed lips. His aged face is wrinkled and he wears a curiously shaped powdered wig terminating in a small pigtail; a tight-fitting coat, with his famous star (see BMSat 10161), and a frilled shirt. The front of the box is indicated on the left."--British Museum online catalogue
