Extreme Politeness An interior scene. On the left a thin man stands in breeches, blue and white striped stockings, black shoes with rosettes, a red coat and white shirt with many ruffles. He is holding a hat and has a pigtail queue. His left leg is bent and he is pointing his right foot in front of him and is bending over as if dancing. Facing him is a short fat man wearing black buckled shoes a blue coat and a bob wig. His knees are bent and he is looking at the thin man. This may be a dancing lesson. [1780-1799]
