- Abstract:
- "A macaroni dressed in a grotesque exaggeration of the prevailing fashion. His hair is in a high pyramid with side curls, an enormous club hangs down his back. A small three-cornered hat is perched on the top of his hair. He wears a large nosegay. He stands in a mincing attitude by a toilet-table, draped with muslin on which are boxes and toilet jars, the latter inscribed "essence" and "Rose". The wall is panelled and ornamented with mouldings; the floor is carpeted and there are two cane-seated chairs of an unusual pattern [This probably represents the dress of 'Lord P-----' as a macaroni buck at the Pantheon masquerade of 12 May 1773. See 'Oxford Magazine', x. p. 179, where his dress is described]."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a proof state
