Abstract:
"Man standing stiffly in profile to the right, head thrown back with a contemptuous scowl. His left hand resting on a cane. He wears a low broad-brimmed hat, a tightly-curled wig, buttoned coat, and gloves."--British Museum online catalogue and "The etching appears to be a copy of 'Humility', British Museum Satires No. 4795. The same figure appears conspicuously (attending a quaker's meeting) British Museum Satires No. 4794. He strongly resembles British Museum Satires No. 4682, and is probably intended either for Nash Grose or Lord Lansdowne (then Shelburne) to whom the title would apply, from the well-known name of Malagrida, the notorious Portuguese Jesuit, given to him in the 'Public Advertiser' of 16 Sept. 1767. It is not unlike some portraits of Lansdowne, but is very different from the later caricatures, see British Museum Satires No. 6022, &c."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
