Abstract: "Bergami and the Princess of Wales dance vigorously, hand in hand, her right hand in his left; he flourishes his peaked and tasselled courier's cap and heavy whip. He wears smart postilion's dress with jack-boots, as in No. 14176. The Princess is very décolletée, with quasi-Turkish trousers, patterned with roses. Behind, her coach and four stands in a country road, a man and woman attendant stand by it, watching in astonishment. There is a background of low mountains. Below the title: 'How I'd love you all the day, Every Night we'd Kiss and Play, If with me you'd fondly stray, Over the Hills and far away.'"--British Museum online catalogue
