A knock-kneed gentleman standing full face. His right hand rests on a tasselled cane. His left is thrust inside his waistcoat.

Lady Harrington was called the Stable Yard Messalina (BMSat 4903). From 'Macaronies, Characters, Caricatures &c by MDarly', in an album of caricatures published by Mary Darly dated January 1776.
