Abstract:

"A young man, in military dress, of elegant and effeminate appearance, sprawls on a sofa, looking towards a young woman (right) who leans towards him. She is of meretricious appearance, and wears the quasi-military riding-dress fashionable at this time in connexion with the militia camps of Coxheath and Warley. The room is luxuriously furnished. A round table with a wine bottle and glass is partly visible on the extreme right."--British Museum online catalogue.
