Abstract: "A bust portrait of the Duke of Clarence in profile to the left. He wears powdered hair with small tail, a cylindrical hat, high stock with a shirt-frill. He is caricatured, with heavy jowl, protruding lips, and small slanting eye: the manner, that of realistic, even suave, portraiture, makes the caricature more cruel."--British Museum online catalogue.
