Her hair is in a pyramid, with curls, on it is a lace cap with lappets, and a flat hat trimmed with ribbons and feathers. She is followed by a very thin woman, whoise pyramid is decorated with more curls but with a smaller cap and hat, she holds a closed fan; behind walks a short stout woman with a frizzed wig bound by a ribbon. The dresses show the prevailing fashion for skirts, straight in front, puffed out at the back and showing the ankles. Miss Tittup, a character in Garrick's "Bon Ton", was played by Eliza Farren ... The tall thin lady is perhaps intended for Miss Farren..."--British Museum catalogue
