"A squarely built young man walks, with an unseeing stare, diagonally towards the spectator and to the left, on a pavement. He wears a round hat, high coat-collar over swathed neckcloth; his double-breasted 'Jean de Bry' coat, see BMSat 9425, is strained across a double-breasted waistcoat horizontally striped. He wears long breeches or pantaloons which drape his legs, and low pumps with cross gartering above his ankles. In his right hand he clutches a tasselled cane, held horizontally."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lady Salisbury stands on a mound holding up a fox's brush. She has outstripped the hounds who rush towards her, the foremost just about to reach her. She turns her head in profile to the left; her long dark hair streams down her back; she wears a hunting-cap resembling the helmet of a light horseman, the skirt of her habit and an under-petticoat are in tatters, the lower part torn away, showing laced half-boots and torn stockings. A masculine collar is thickly swathed with a coloured scarf, as in BMSat 10169. She wears an eyeglass on a ribbon. The background is a landscape with distant mountains; horses and hounds in the middle distance. Below the title: '"Out-stript the Winds in Speed upon the Plain, "Flies o'er the Fields, nor hurts the bearded Grain; "Men, Boys & Women, stupid with surprize, " Where e'er she passes, fix their wondering eyes.

"Musicians are grouped round the almost spherical Lady Buckinghamshire, who sits at the piano in profile to the right, playing and singing. In back view and on the extreme right sits Colonel Greville, playing a fiddle; from his coat pocket hangs a paper: 'Pic Nic Concert - Imitations - Nightingale by Lord C. - Tom Tit Lord ME. - Jack daw Genl G. Screech Owl Lady B. - Poll Parrot...' On the left is Lord Mount Edgcumbe, very small, playing a 'cello, in profile. Behind him, full face, towers Lord Cholmondeley putting a flute below tightly closed lips. Seated on the pianist's left is Lady Salisbury, blowing a French horn. On the extreme right opposite Greville is a lady's arm holding out a trumpet. See BMSat 9916, &c, and, for the 'musical mania' of the period, BMSat 9938, &c."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A design in two compartments. On the left is a tall officer standing stiffly in profile to the right, his elbow to his side and holding his drawn sabre erect.
