Two ladies stand full-face; one (left), elderly and wearing the full dress of c. 1760, holds a fan and scowls disapprovingly at the other. Her cap terminates in a point on the apex of her coiffure, her wide skirts are hooped, and she wears elbow sleeves with long ruffles. The younger woman (right) looks with interest and mild surprise at the elder lady. She wears a wide-brimmed feathered hat, which extends beyond her shoulders. Her petticoats hang straight from her hips; her position perhaps conceals the fashionable projection at the back. The two costumes are in complete contrast, the broadest part of the younger lady's silhouette being her hat. Her dress is of a somewhat masculine cut, with shoulder-capes. Similar in manner to BMSat 7114.   3 March 1787
