"A lady stands in profile to the left removing her gloves; her head is turned to the spectator. Against the wall of the room, which appears from the carpet and an oval mirror in a carved frame to be a drawing-room, stands a commode, which if the lid were closed would resemble an ordinary chair. She wears the projections at bust and waist which were the subjects of caricature c. 1786-7 (cf. BMSats 6874, 7099, &c). Her hat, poised sideways, has a steeple crown."--British Museum online catalogue

One of a set of three prints on the same topic. Lady Archer (left) drives (left to right) her very high gig, but her daughters take the place of four horses. Three daughters, however, have broken their reins and run from their mother in single file. The remaining daughter holds up her hands imploringly. Lady Archer, with an angry expression, slashes her whip at the runaways. On the side of the gig is an 'A' in an escutcheon surmounted by three crossed arrows and a baron's coronet. On the extreme right is a signpost, one arm of which points 'To Longsl ....' The other, in the direction which the daughters are taking, 'To Bruton St.' All the ladies wear the broad-brimmed hats with high circular crowns which had just become fashionable. Lady Archer wears a driving-dress with a triple cape and a large shirt-frill. See British Museum online catalogue
