The separation : a sketch from the private life of Lord Iron who panegyrized his wife, but satirized her confidante!!

Print shows Byron taking leave of his wife in the house in Piccadilly Terrace. Byron, with his right arm round the waist of Mrs. Mardyn, walks off to the left towards a staircase, looking over his shoulder at his wife; he extends his left arm towards her, saying with a gesture of dismissal: "Fare thee well! and if for ever--"Still for ever fare thee well!" He wears a Byronic collar, double-breasted tail-coat with loose trousers. Lady Byron, wearing a hat and holding her infant, is about to leave by the door on the right; she looks towards Byron, and is supported by Perry who puts an arm round her in a protecting manner. He is identified by a letter in his pocket: 'Letter to Mr Perry Morng Chronicle'. A hideous elderly woman, Mrs. Clermont, walks towards Lady Byron, scowling over her shoulder at Byron. She wears a large hat with feathers, and a dress like that of Mrs. Mardyn, but shorter, displaying misshapen legs. On the wall between the doors are a draped book-case and a picture of a reclining (?) Venus (left). Beneath this is a settee heaped with books and papers: 'Corsair a Poem by Lord Byron'; 'Lord Byrons New poems Farewell &'; a playbill: 'Theatre Royal Drury Lane--The Jealous Wife [Colman] after which Lovers Vows [Mrs. Inchbald] Amelia Wildenhain by Mrs Mardyn!' At Mrs. Clermont's feet is a paper: '"A Sketch from private life" & "Farewell" Two New poems by Lord Byron on his Departure for Italy & Greece.' Between her and Byron the carpet is covered with lines from 'A Sketch'.
