Abstract:
"Whole length portrait of a man standing in profile to the right. In his left hand he holds up a handkerchief, in his right is a cane with a large tassel. The figure is about half the size of others of this series; this, and the length of his sword, suggests that he is very small. He is dressed macaroni-fashion, though his looped club is small. Evidently Cosway, the miniature painter, who was very small, see British Museum Satires No. 6102, and whose portraits this resembles."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A group of men standing outside a dilapidated building, part of which is visible on the right. One, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, holds in his left hand a torn paper on which parts of words are visible: "[Pet]itio[n] ... [Fr]eehold[rs] . . . Minist[ry] . . ." His right forefinger is extended as if laying down the law to his companions. On his right stands a man holding his chin with an expression of deep thought. In his right hand is (?) a turncock. Next him (left) is an artisan, listening intently, his breeches unfastened at the knee, his stockings ungartered; he holds a short hammer and is probably a shoemaker. Behind (right) a man wearing a waistcoat over a ruffled shirt, but no coat, lounges against the stump of a tree and listens open-mouthed. On the top of the stump is an open dish of food which a dog is eating, his head twisted backwards in a peculiar manner."--British Museum online catalogue
