"A very stout alderman (right), holding hat and cane, bows low before an equally stout lady (left) who curtseys, her hands in an enormous muff, from which a small dog looks out. A fat and clumsy dog stands behind the alderman. The background is a stone wall. Beneath the title is engraved: "Madam will you honor me with your hand at the Lord Mayors Ball" - " With a great Deal of pleasure Mr Alderman.""--British Museum online catalogue
