Abstract:

"Fox (right), capering with excitement, raises a dagger in his right hand, as if to strike a grotesquely stout and short lady, who faces him, throwing back her arms. Both faces, especially that of Fox, have the exaggerated expressions of ranting actors in melodrama."--British Museum online catalogue.
