Preparing for Action or an English Man of War Engaging Two Dutch Doggers, 9 June 1793
Scope and Contents
The Duke of York stands full-face but turning his head in profile to the left, between two laughing Dutch courtesans. He holds a glass of wine in his right hand, while the woman on his right takes his arm, holding up a bottle. He holds the hand of the woman on his left, who picks his pocket. An English officer (left) standing by a cannon urinates, his back turned to the Duke; he says, "wine cannot cure the Pain I Indure for my Dear Chloe's Sake." In the background (right) are tents. Hand-coloured etching. Description from The British Museum.
