My grandmother, alias the Jersey jig, alias the rival widows / [I. Cruikshank].
[London] : S.W. Fores, 1794.
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
The Prince of Wales, very stout, sits on a sofa (right) with an aged crone (Lady Jersey) on his knee, whose breast he fondles, singing. Lady Jersey takes a pinch of snuff. On the left Mrs. Fitzherbert walks off to the left with a tragic gesture, her right hand to her forehead, in her left she holds out a deed inscribed '6000 Pr An'. Drapery hangs from her head, and a cross is suspended from a necklace on her (uncovered) breast. On the wall is a bust portrait of the Prince wearing beard and draperies as 'Solomon', inscribed, 'and Solomon had 300 Wives and 700 Concubines'. 26 August 1794
