"The Queen, short and grotesque but not burlesqued, takes Bergami's left arm, looking up at him amorously; he looks down complacently at her. He is tall, handsome, florid, with much curling black hair, moustache and whiskers, and wears three orders (see British Museum Satires No. 13810); a miniature of the Queen hangs from his neck (see British Museum Satires No. 13858). His much-braided (blue) tunic and white trousers embroidered with red mould his stalwart figure. She holds a pagoda-shaped parasol, wears an absurd hat of Lancer type, a décolletée over-dress open from the high waist to show frilled drawers or trousers. From her neck dangles a large miniature of Bergami. The pair are watched by a man and woman, Italian witnesses (see British Museum Satires No. 13762, &c.), who register astonishment in the middle distance. In the background is the Villa d'Este, on the shore of Lake Como. Below the title: 'Sure such a pair were never formed to meet by Nature' [adapted from Sheridan's 'Duenna', cf.

The plate is a companion to British Museum Satires No. 14109, and is depicted in British Museum Satires No. 14206."--British Museum online catalogue

"A lady, young and beautiful, sits in an arm-chair, her head in profile to the left, gazing at her reflection in a standing pier-glass. She wears a dress cut very low, with short puffed sleeves, a small hat supporting two tall feathers and showing curls surrounding her face. A miniature on a long double chain is attached to her corsage. She holds a small round box of some cosmetic. Behind her a parasol lies on a table, with a ring in place of ferrule. Behind this stands an ornate harp, with three pedals, decorated with a winged female figure and roses, a suitable instrument for the display of rounded arms. Fringed curtains frame a tall window, which throws a strong light on lady and mirror."--British Museum online catalogue
