- Abstract:
- "A voluminous petticoat worn over the head as a hood and reaching to the feet of its wearer, whose face, in profile to the left, appears through an aperture. One large gloved hand appears through a slit in the garment. A ducal coronet is on the wearer's head, low-heeled shoes suggest that the wearer is a man."--British Museum online catalogue and "A companion-print to British Museum Satires No. 5314. Perhaps a portrait of Alexander, 4th Duke of Gordon (1745-1827); portraits of the Duke show that this is not unlikely."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
