Abstract:
"A fashionably dressed lady and gentleman are seated facing each other, a tea-table between them. She wears an enormous 'derrière' and a projecting bosom; a round hat with a huge brim surrounded by a curtain frill of lace, through which her eyes and much-curled hair are visible. He wears a tight-fitting coat with a high collar, large buttons, and projecting shirt-frill. His hair or wig is in a looped queue with large side-curls. He looks at himself in a pocket-mirror with a satisfied air. His cane and round hat are on a chair behind him. The 'antient' dresses are those of the three quarter length portraits on the wall: in the centre are a gentleman and lady standing together in early Georgian dress, each holds a crook, a bird sits on the lady's finger. This is flanked by a lady (left) in quasi-Elizabethan dress, wearing a conical hat, a ruff, and a hooped petticoat in the form of a cylinder; and a man (right) wearing a high hat, cloak, slashed doublet, and breeches, holding a hooded hawk."--British Museum online catalogue

In a country landscape, a man and a young woman in riding habit ride together (left to right) on a white horse, passing a signpost that reads (left) "To London" and (right) "To Newbury and Well Hall". She sits in front, holding the reins and riding astride. She holds up a purse in her left hand saying, "This will pay you for your Trouble Honey". The man sits behind, his feet in the stirrups, his left hand on the woman's waist; he says, "Promise me that and I will never say another Mass". The man wears ordinary riding-dress; the woman wears a feathered hat over a frilled cap, and a tight coat over a ruffled shirt. Behind them (left) walks a young woman, wearing a cap of lace and ribbons; she holds her apron to her eye, saying, "The Old witch is carrying away my Director". The words issue from the speakers' mouths on long scrolls. In the foreground (left) is a tree; the background is an undulating landscape with a square church tower and the roofs of a village among trees

"A whole length satirical portrait of a slim and foppish young man, in three positions. He stands (left) in profile to the left, his right hand resting on the head of a high cane and holding a large three-cornered hat. In the centre he stands in back view, his hat under his left arm, his cane in his right hand. On the right he stands full-face, in a rather swaggering pose, cane in his right hand, hat in his left. The three attitudes show the fashion of the day. Hair loose and full over the forehead, a horizontal side curl below each ear, and a tightly-bound pigtail queue. A fitting coat double-breasted at the chest, cut away to show the lower part of a waistcoat ending at the waist; its special feature is an elongated and narrow lapel projecting beyond the shoulders.
