"An enormous pair of breeches reaching from the head to the feet of the wearer, and forming his (or her) sole visible garment. A face in profile to the right. appears through an unbuttoned aperture; on the wearer's head is a ducal coronet surmounted by large ostrich-feathers. The tiny high-heeled shoes suggest that the wearer is a woman."--British Museum online catalogue and "A companion-print to British Museum Satires No. 5315, where the wearer of a petticoat appears to be a man. They are perhaps caricatures of a ducal pair where the husband was dominated by an overbearing wife, in which case she would appear to be Jane Maxwell (1749?-1812), wife of the 4th Duke of Gordon. The profile makes this not unlikely."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
