"In a panelled room without furniture, two figures in profile face each other in a minuet. On the left is an elderly man with a rather stiff manner, dressed in the fashion of the day, and wearing a toupet-wig with a black bag; he holds his hat in his right hand. On the right is a sharp-featured woman with her hair dressed high and ornamented with lace. She wears a low dress with elbow sleeves, long gloves, and a train over a flounced petticoat. On the alternate panels of the room are square pictures and oval mirrors in carved frames."--British Museum online catalogue
