- Abstract:
- "Mrs. Clarke (left), more of a siren than in authentic portraits, sits indecorously on a sofa, while the Duke, with eyes tipsily closed, reclines against her, seated on the floor. She holds scissors and the Duke's long pigtail, which she has cut off and displays to two men who approach from the r., a military officer, probably Wardle, who puts his finger slyly to his nose, and a good-looking young civilian (? Folkestone). She says: "Gentlemen you may now take him with safety, his strength is gone, I have cut off his regulation tail, and there is no danger"."--British Museum online catalogue
