"Bergami, moustachioed, whiskered, and alluring, in a tight-fitting harlequin's suit over which is a short gold-laced jacket, sits on a tall stool, holding up a life-like puppet representing the Queen. He grasps it by the waist, and pulls a ribbon, making arms and legs fly up. She smiles delightedly down at him, her ringlets flying. She wears the décolletée over-dress of British Museum Satires No. 14103, open to show frilled and spotted drawers. Bergami, part courier, part Harlequin, has a heavy queue of hair hanging from his black curls, and wears a peaked cap with a big gold tassel. A heavy postilion's whip projects from his pocket. He is directed to the left, towards an open French window and a vine trellis, with a view of Lake Como (see British Museum Satires No. 13857). He raises his right leg, looking over his left shoulder, away from his puppet. On the floor are the courier's discarded pistol, powder-flask, holster, and saddle; behind his chair are portmanteaus, one inscribed 'B B'. A large book propped against a decanter inscribed 'A Boire' is: 'Hop Step and Jump, or, every man his own Courier. List of Postes on the high road from Dunghill, to Barona' [see British Museum Satires No. 14119]. A partly dropped curtain (right) reveals two figurines embracing below a shelf of books. The carpet is patterned with hearts."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

still image
Abstract:
"The interior of a luxuriously furnished room, across one corner of which is a large folding screen. Behind the screen (left) a man stands on a chair looking over it, while a footman in livery crouches beside him looking round it at a pair of lovers: a fashionably dressed young military officer sprawls on a sofa, with his arms round the waist of a pretty young woman. On the ground beside them a mandoline lies across a music-book. On a small ornate table are fruit and a bottle. The fire-place, chimney-piece, candelabra, and a landscape in an ornate frame indicate a handsomely furnished room. The man looking over the screen is elderly and dressed in an old-fashioned manner with tie-wig, flapped waistcoat, and sleeves with wide cuffs."--British Museum online catalogue
