"Two companion designs on one plate. On the left, directed to the right, stands a lady wearing the projecting gauze at her breast and the inflated petticoats then fashionable. Her wide-brimmed hat is trimmed with feathers and a curtain-frill of lace. Ringlets rest on her shoulders from her puffed-out hair. She holds a large muff. On the right, directed to the left, stands a country girl whose round hat, ringlets, kerchief, and looped-up petticoats resemble those of the fashionable lady, but without the exaggeration of the latter."--British Museum online catalogue

"A lady stands in profile to the right, her hands in an enormous globular muff, on which rests the projecting gauze which covers her breast. Her petticoats project at the back in the fashionable manner, but scarcely balance the muff. Her wide-brimmed hat is even more exaggerated, and projects all round her like a tent. Her hair is puffed out at the sides with curls which rest on her false breast, and a looped and plaited queue which reaches nearly to her projecting petticoats."--British Museum online catalogue
