A young man (three-quarter length), directed to the right, with arms folded, smiles complacently. His elaborate neck-cloth swathes his chin, his hair, parted in the centre, falls loosely on his forehead and shoulders. He holds a looped hat. 'The kick' denotes the present fashion. Grose, 'Dict. Vulg. Tongue', 1796. Cf. BMSat 8191. For the series see BMSat 9101, &c."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from item.Temporary local subject terms: Male dress: neckcloth.
