- Abstract
-
"A tall strapping Irishman wearing a flamboyant cocked hat and quasi-military uniform looks down, with a sly smile, at his squat and bedizened bride. Under his right arm is a long cudgel or shillelagh. She takes his arm and looks up rapturously. They walk (right to left) across the 'Crescent', Bath, whose houses form a background. A gouty old man on crutches behind them (right) looks sourly at them, and a chair-man (left) between the shafts of his sedan-chair, gapes in astonishment."--British Museum online catalogue.
