Abstract:: "The Duke of Richmond (left) sleeps in an arm-chair beside a table on which are playing-cards and bits of broken tobacco-pipes arranged to represent fortifications. On the right are two cannons, one on a gun-carriage ; a cat sits on its muzzle miaowing at Richmond, one paw on the table. By his side (left) are plans on rollers and a box of long tobacco-pipes. On the wall hang two pictures on rollers as if they were plans. In one (left) soldiers with wheelbarrows, &c. work on the sea-shore, off which dismantled ships lie at anchor. In the other, cannons and cannon-balls with one sentry lie along the sea-shore, off which are ships at anchor with brooms at their mast-heads to show that they are for sale. Richmond's hat, overcoat, and sword hang on the wall between the two pictures. At his feet is an open book inscribed 'Trial of Colol Debbeig'."--British Museum online catalogue

She wears an enormous 'derrière' and a projecting bosom; a round hat with a huge brim surrounded by a curtain frill of lace, through which her eyes and much-curled hair are visible. He wears a tight-fitting coat with a high collar, large buttons, and projecting shirt-frill. His hair or wig is in a looped queue with large side-curls. He looks at himself in a pocket-mirror with a satisfied air. His cane and round hat are on a chair behind him. The 'antient' dresses are those of the three quarter length portraits on the wall: in the centre are a gentleman and lady standing together in early Georgian dress, each holds a crook, a bird sits on the lady's finger. This is flanked by a lady (left) in quasi-Elizabethan dress, wearing a conical hat, a ruff, and a hooped petticoat in the form of a cylinder; and a man (right) wearing a high hat, cloak, slashed doublet, and breeches, holding a hooded hawk."--British Museum online catalogue
