"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

Abstract:
"Caricature portrait, whole length, of a man in profile walking to the right, grotesquely dressed, probably for a masquerade. In his right hand he holds a rod to each end of which is slung a fox's tail. A large fox's tail hangs from the back of his neck. A bell hangs outwards from the back of his waist. A ribbon flutters from his right arm. He wears a small cap with a tuft of feathers at the top. Rows of feathers (quills) or ribbons hang from his cap, his waist, and from the tops of his stockings which leave his knees bare."--British Museum online catalogue and "At the masquerades (c. 1772) groups of young men from the universities, some dressed as "Tom fools with cap and bells", were conspicuous. ... Evidently intended for C. J. Fox, a leader of fashion and already a favourite subject of caricature."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
