- Abstract
-
"Lansdowne, Norfolk, and Grafton stand together wearing the dress of the Conseil des Anciens: a violet robe and cap, with a scarlet sash, over which hangs a white cloak in classical folds, the border of robe and cloak being embroidered in red. Lansdowne (centre) holds a book, the fingers of his right hand are raised, and he smiles slyly. Norfolk (left) and Grafton (right) listen to him with conspiratorial intentness. Under their feet are flag-stones."--British Museum online catalogue
