- Abstract:
- "A whole length satirical portrait of a slim and foppish young man, in three positions. He stands (left) in profile to the left, his right hand resting on the head of a high cane and holding a large three-cornered hat. In the centre he stands in back view, his hat under his left arm, his cane in his right hand. On the right he stands full-face, in a rather swaggering pose, cane in his right hand, hat in his left. The three attitudes show the fashion of the day. Hair loose and full over the forehead, a horizontal side curl below each ear, and a tightly-bound pigtail queue. A fitting coat double-breasted at the chest, cut away to show the lower part of a waistcoat ending at the waist; its special feature is an elongated and narrow lapel projecting beyond the shoulders. A ruffled shirt, closely fitting breeches, and low-heeled shoes. In the foreground buildings are indicated."--British Museum online catalogue
