Lords of the Bedchamber [graphic].Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[14 April 1784]eng"The Duchess of Devonshire (right), in morning cap and gown, makes tea for Fox and Sam House who sit side by side on a sofa (left). The duchess leans back in her chair, one hand on the tap of the urn, while she hands a cup to a footman who stands with a tray. Sam (left) has been served first; he sits stirring his tea and gazing adoringly at Fox (right), who playfully pats his bald head. A spaniel stands in front of them, begging. On the wall behind are two freely sketched whole length portraits: behind the duchess is Reynolds's portrait of her husband standing by his horse (as in British Museum Satires No. 6546), the other is over the heads of House and Fox."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue and Grego.Another impression of a print owned by Horace Walpole which is now at NYPL 71.Mounted to 30 x 42 cm.
