<p><br>The lower image shows the Duke rejecting his wife (on the left) as she turns towards the Earl of Upper Ossory, who holds their baby; a nurse stands beside him ready. The Duke says “This is rather beyond suspicion my Lord.” He has his arm around a fashionably dressed young woman, his mistress, Nancy Parsons,  A man, possibly intended for her former lover Richard Rigby, stoops behind Nancy Parson’s back to kiss her hand furtively.
