CtY-LW - Abstract:
- "Dressing-room scene. A dandy stands by the dressing-table (right) making a gesture of rejection towards his wife (left). He is lacing a pair of stays over his shirt and puffed-out breeches. His waist is very small, his bare legs emaciated, his mouth a small irregular aperture; a set of false teeth is on the dressing-table. She is plump and comely, and holds out her arms to him; she wears frilled drawers reaching below the calf, and a long pad across her shoulders to give her short-waisted dress the fashionable line, cf. British Museum Satires No. 12939. A large fire is burning; on it is an iron; kettle and coffee-pot are on the hob. Before it on a towel-rail hang stockings and other garments; top-boots are warming by the fender. A mirror reflects the back of the dandy's head, with its grotesque collar. A high-shouldered coat hangs on a T-shaped stand. On a shelf above the wash-stand a pair of short yellow gloves (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13071) is drying on stands. A doorway (left) leads to a bedroom."--British Museum online catalogue.
