The occupants of a box at a theatre. A lady with an enormous inverted pyramid of hair decorated with the usual ringlets sits in front. The ringlets have eye-pieces at the back and are completely cylindrical; two men who sit behind her look through the two lower ringlets as if they were the fashionable single eyeglass. The lady herself looks through an eyeglass. On her pyramid of hair is an erection of rucked and interlaced ribbons, trimmed with sprays of flowers and surmounted by ostrich-feathers. Part of another box at right angles to this one is visible on the left; in it a man, in profile to the left, looks through an eye-glass.   An ornamental chandelier with candles is suspended between the boxes.  1 April 1777
