"Mrs. Robinson driving Charles Fox (right to left) in a phaeton or gig. Only part of one wheel and the hind-quarters of a pair of horses appear in the print, the figures being on a large scale. Fox, with the ill-dressed hair and the heavy "gunpowder jowl" which are now beginning to characterize his satirical portraits, holds his hat in his left hand, showing "C. F." stamped inside the crown; he has a disconsolate expression. Mrs. Robinson flourishes her whip in her right hand; she wears ringlets, a high-crowned hat trimmed with feathers, a short tight coat of masculine cut over a frilled shirt. Her cipher, "M. R.", in a wreath, appears on the side of the carriage. This, and the fact that she is driving, is intended to show that she is keeping Fox. On the upper margin of the print is engraved, "I have now not fifty ducats in the World & yet I am in love". They drive past the gateway and front of St. James's Palace, which forms the background."--British Museum online catalogue
