G. Cruik. del.
[n.d., 1813.]
Hand-coloured etching. Sheet: 200 x 240mm (8 x 9½"). Trimmed, losing letterpress verse, marking.
William, Duke of Clarence (later William IV), in admiral's uniform with sword, kneels on both knees, arms extended, at the feet of a young woman who walks away. He is in profile to the left, caricatured, with words issuing from his coarse protruding lips: "O listen, listen to the voice of Love." The lady (called Grand Duchess Anna (Pavlovna) of Russia in the text but actually Catherine of Oldenburgh, the widowed sister of Tsar Alexander I) looks scornfully over her shoulder, pointing to a treasure-chest (left) filled with bags. Having lived a dissolute youth the Duke was deep in debt so had derserted his long-time consort Mrs Jordan and was on the lookout for a rich wife.
