- Abstract:
- "Bond Street, the pavement receding diagonally from left to right, is thronged with fashionable pedestrians. In the foreground five fashionably dressed men advance, forming a phalanx which pushes on to the cobbled roadway a lady, dressed rather for the ball-room than the street, to whose arm clings a little girl; both are in back view. The men smile or leer. The lady's neck diminishes to a point, tresses of hair hang from her turban (cf. BMSat 8755), which is trimmed by a gigantic erect feather. Her over-dress hangs from her shoulders and swells into folds which sweep the ground. She holds a fan. (Small copy in Grego.) Behind (right) three ladies walk arm-in-arm in the roadway: a fat woman in a riding-habit, looking through an opera-glass, and two younger women, one with her face covered by a transparent veil reaching nearly to the (knees, the other looking demurely down. Among the crowd in the background a man arm-in-arm with a military officer in back view (? Lord Moira) resembles Fox."--British Museum online catalogue

The Princess of Wales and Bergami seated together in an opera-box; the occupants of the pit, all men, look up at the box, shouting "Via! via! hiss hiss s s s." The pair frown angrily; Bergami holds a bottle labelled 'Bergamot' and wears braided hussar uniform. The Princess wears a Turkish turban, a very décolletée dress defines bulging contours.

The Princess, in her Turkish costume, walks with Pauline Borghese, their arms interlaced. She places a wreath on the bonnet rouge which decorates a bust of 'Murat' (left), which has grotesquely long moustaches.

Beneath the title is etched: 'With clasped hands and bended knees, They humbly sought the Count to please, And beg'd admission to his house, Not that for him they care'd a louse, But wish'd within his walls to shine, And shew those charms they think divine, His Ex beheld these Belles unmov'd, His A------e their impudence reproved, Cannaille he said shoud ne'er come there & rumped them with a pet en l'air'."--British Museum online catalogue
