The royal Adonis (BM 1868,0808.4947)

Caricature portrait of one of the royal dukes, probably of William Henry, Duke of Gloucester, 1743-1805. He stands in profile to the left wearing a sword and bag-wig, his hat under his left arm. His coat has a fur collar and the star of the Garter; over it he wears the Garter ribbon. His features and the arrangement of his hair are caricatured. The open mouth, double chin, and thick neck, the recession of the hair on the temples, which are here conspicuous, are noticeable even in the mezzotint by Earlom (1771) after Hamilton. 14 March 1783
