Scope and Contents

Anonymous artist. Published by T. Omer. A travesty of the picture [formerly attributed to Quintin Matsys and known as] 'The Misers' at Windsor, the misers being George III, writing in his ledger and counting coins, and Queen Charlotte, leaning on his shoulder. The pose, dress, background, and accessories are closely copied, except that the hood over the Queen's head is pushed back to show a large ear-ring and her hair which is decorated with pearls. The 's' of 'Originals' in the title has been scored through, stressing the identification of 'the Misers'. Hand-coloured etching. Description from the British Museum.
