Doctor Gruel.
Pubd. according to Act of Parlt. Oct 3d. 1771 by MDarly 39 Strand.
Etching, 155 x 105mm. 6 x 4¼".
A standing man in profile with wig and hands folded under his gown. The BM has two impressions, one identified in an old hand as Lord L------n. [Lansdowne?] - William Petty, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne (1737 - 1805), Prime Minister and patron of the arts; in the second impression he is identified as Sir Nash Grose (1740 - 1814), Judge. He appears to be wearing a legal wig and gown which would make the identification with Grose more probable. The wig resembles that worn by Serjeants at law. From '24 Caricatures by several ladies, gentlemen, artists, etc.', in an album of caricatures published by Mary Darly dated January 1776. It seems that her husband Matthew made the plates. Numbered 'V.1' upper left and '17' upper right.
BM Satires: 4682.
