Abstract:
Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston, attending her trial for bigamy. The maids of honour hold a bottle marked "cordial". They are followed by a fat chaplain, a physician with a bigwig and sword, and a lean apothecary with a big enema syringe and "Seven figures walk from left to right. First is the (so-called) Duchess of Kingston, short and stout. She is saying "By God and", and holds out her hands with a gesture of affirmation. Behind her walk three young women, her 'maids of honour', who are tall and slim in contrast with their mistress. One carries a large square bottle inscribed "cordial". All four ladies are dressed alike in the fashion of the day with low bodices and high coiffures decorated with feathers and flowers. Next comes a fat clergyman, his mouth open as of shouting. He is followed by the physician wearing a big-wig and sword. Last walks the apothecary, lean and bent, also wearing a sword, and carrying an enormous and ornately decorated syringe which rests on his right shoulder."--British Museum online catalogue
