"A young woman walks mincingly (left to right), her left hand extended, in her right is a large closed fan. Check or tartan ribbons form the crown of her hat and the bows with which it is trimmed. A similar tartan is worn as a pelerine, crossed at the waist and tied in a bow, long voluminous ends hanging down the back of her dress. A tartan ribbon is tied to the handle of her fan. From the brim of her hat, in which is an erect ostrich feather, hangs a transparent curtain of gauze. Her hair, cut short across the forehead, hangs down her back in a long queue, tied up at the end with a bow. There is a landscape background."--British Museum online catalogue

"Between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York trips the tiny Duchess of York, holding a hand of each, her arms raised in order to do so. Behind the three stands a colossal man in Highland dress wearing a plaid, sporran (with the Prince of Wales feathers as a crest), and feathered cap. The Prince (left), who is in civilian dress, wearing a round high-crowned hat, says, "My Dear little Sister when you are tired Big Sam shall carry you!" The Duke, handsome in regimentals, turns to her, saying, "come my Love you shall see Papa driving the Pigs & Mama Milking the Cows". He points (right) to a distant scene, where the King in hunting dress chases two galloping pigs with a whip, saying, "Pig wont go", and the Queen is milking a cow."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three men on the deck of a small sailing-vessel. Boswell, his knees flexed, stands in profile to the left holding the end of a rope and looking at Col, in Highland dress, who holds up his finger admonishingly. His Scots cap flies from his head, his coat-tails blow in the wind, his ink-pot dangles from his neck, his 'Journal' is under his left arm. A sailor (right) stands in back view leaning against the side of the vessel."--British Museum online catalogue

"Boswell and two men in Highland dress dance a Highland fling on the summit of a low mountain, with the sea and a low spur of land on the horizon. Boswell, full-face, capers; his wig and pendant ink-pot with the pen in it, stream in the wind. He flourishes his 'Journal'; his left hand is in that of one of his companions (right); the other (left) dances a 'pas seul' looking at Boswell; both hold long sticks. A piper on the extreme left, standing just below the summit of the hill, plays the pipes."--British Museum online catalogue
