Abstract:
"Two men stand on the pavement outside a door-way under the pediment of which are the royal arms. Beneath them and over the doorway is inscribed, "Lovejoy, Kings arms Tavern", cf. British Museum Satires No. 4995. This appears to be a representation of the entrance to Covent Garden Theatre. The taller of the two men (left) has snatched off the other's wig, and holds it up in his right hand. In his left hand is his sword, broken off below the hilt; his hat is on the ground. Behind and to the right stands a short stout man with bare shaved head; his hat is in his right hand. The taller man is dressed in the prevailing macaroni fashion and has a certain resemblance to Colman, then part-proprietor and manager of Covent Garden Theatre, see British Museum Satires No. 5064. The wig of the other is of the type worn by 'cits', see British Museum Satires No. 5463."--British Museum online catalogue
