Coloured etching. 250 x 355mm (9¾ x 14"), on laid paper watermarked 'J Whatman'. Trimmed to plate at top, repair entering plate on left taped. Small margins on 3 sides.
Two ladies wash the face of Frances Villiers, Lady Jersey, attempting to remove her mixed-race complexion, helped by the Prince of Wales.

Villiers remained a Lady of the Bedchamber to Caroline despite her affair with George until the Royal couple's separation. Cruikshank uses the fabled story of how to wash a blackamoor white to satirise Villiers' reputation.
