- Abstract:
- "Satire contrasting English and French styles of dress. A stout middle-aged Englishman wearing a heavy coat and three-cornered hat and carrying a stick, is walking to left in a Parisian street with a small boy in attendance. Passers-by are amused by his lack of elegance: on the left, a hairdresser wearing his hair in a large queue, with scissors at his waist and an apron, carries a parasol and raises his hand in surprise; a fat monk grins; an elegant man driving a cabriolet and his footman dressed in furs smile; a worker wearing loose trousers and wooden shoes folds his arms and stares; two dogs follow the Englishman."--British Museum online catalogue
