"A lady, partly hidden by a sheaf of corn, reclines against a tree. The Duke of York, wearing regimentals and a mitre, prods her with the end of his crozier. She holds an open book inscribed 'Monody on the Death of the D- of R-d' [Rutland]. In the middle distance and on the extreme left a military officer stands on guard holding a sword and pistol: he says, "I am allways ready to Pimp or Bully."--British Museum online catalogue
