"A lady stands in profile to the right, her hands in an enormous globular muff, on which rests the projecting gauze which covers her breast. Her petticoats project at the back in the fashionable manner, but scarcely balance the muff. Her wide-brimmed hat is even more exaggerated, and projects all round her like a tent. Her hair is puffed out at the sides with curls which rest on her false breast, and a looped and plaited queue which reaches nearly to her projecting petticoats."--British Museum online catalogue
