Title[Man with a sword looking at a woman]
Date[1780-1789]
DescriptionA young macaroni looks through an eyeglass at a demure young woman. The macaroni is wearing a pale blue suit, white waistcoat with red spots, a wig with a high toupée and a small cocked hat perched on top. He has a sword strapped to his left side and is holding a very long thin cane in his left hand. He is holding a 'quizzing glass' up to his eye and striding purposefully from left to right towards a shy young woman. She is wearing a pale coloured gown with apron and a French nightcap over an egg-shaped toupée. She faces the macaroni with her hands folded in front of her, and eyes downcast. Available on CD 158.
