Abstract:
"Whole length caricature portrait of a man playing the musette or pastoral oboe with a double pipe and drone resembling bag-pipes. His attitude is that of a man seated on a high stool, but there is no stool and he is chiefly supported by a wooden leg formed of one of the two pipes of his instrument. The bag of the musette, held under his right arm, is a pig; he holds the animal's hind leg, which forms the second pipe, as if playing on it; in his right hand he holds its tail. He turns his head in profile to the right towards an open book of music on a music-stand. He is elderly and wears a curious tie-wig terminating in two corkscrew ringlets."--British Museum online catalogue
