"A fashionably dressed man stands in back view, a round hat in his hand, a bludgeon under his left arm. He wears a tail-coat with a large cape-like collar with revers. Above this appears the high stiff collar at the back of his waistcoat. His hair falls on his coat collar and his shoulders are frosted with hair-powder (a fashion of the day), cf. BMSats 7537, 8192. He wears half-boots and breeches tied below the knee with a bunch of strings."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A satire on high collars and voluminous neck-cloths. A good-looking young man stands full face, holding out in his (gloved) left hand a round hat and bludgeon. His right hand is behind his back and under his coat, which is open to display a double-breasted waistcoat with wide lapels, within which is another collar and a swathed neckcloth tied in a bow. The high collar of his tail-coat adds to the numerous swathings round his neck. His (powdered) hair hangs loosely on the collar of his coat. He wears striped stockings and low shoes with rosettes."--British Museum online catalogue.
