Summary

edit
Description Satirical print. Museum's description: "The Persian Ambassador, a handsome man in quasi-oriental dress, displays the Circassian (see No. 13391, &c.) to the Regent, removing her draperies to show her charms. The Regent, seated on a settee (right) with crossed legs and hands ecstatically clasped, turns to look at the men standing behind his settee, who all gaze avidly at the lady, except Bloomfield who looks with a covert scowl towards Yarmouth (right). The others are (left to right) Lord Eldon in wig and gown, Castlereagh, the Duke of York, and a man only partly visible. Over their heads is the lower part of a large picture of 'Bathsheba' descending into the bath. The door is open (left) and men and women, apparently servants, crowd towards it to peer furtively in. "
