- Abstract
-
"Masqueraders stand closely grouped. A centre figure is an obese, aged, and capering Punch, playing a guitar. Two women are prominent, both are in profile to the left, and wear small masks which frame their eyes. One holds a wand and a book inscribed 'Magi', the other wears breeches and is very décolletée. Behind her is an ugly coarse-looking man, wearing a domino with a naturalistic mask resembling his own features. A man wears a bag-wig with large horns and carries a placard inscribed 'Horns to Sell'. One figure wears two realistic and complete masks, Janus-like--one that of a handsome woman, the other of an ugly man. The background is an arc of a rotunda, with Ionic pillars framing curtains and decorated with fairy lights."--British Museum online catalogue
