- Abstract:
- "Four figures of ladies caricaturing the dress of the period. The upper pair face each other in profile, one with feathers in her much puffed-out hair, the other with a wide hat tied under her chin (a Werter hat, cf. BMSat 7054). Below, one (left) stands full-face, the other stands in profile to the left with her head in back view, showing the arrangement of her hair. The fashions satirized are the puffed-out breasts, see BMSat 7099, &c, the false 'derrières', see BMSat 6874, &c., hairdressing and large muffs, see BMSat 7244, &c. The hair is much extended on each side of the head and divided at the back by a queue reaching below the waist."--British Museum online catalogue
