An Ex Minister Training a Terrier at Bowood, March 1798

Scope and Contents

Artist: James Sayers. Lansdowne (left) in 'profil perdu', stoops forward, encouraging a dog with the head of Jekyll to bark at a bust of Pitt; the word Bow issues from the mouth of Jekyll, who wears a legal wig, bands, and gown. The bust stands on the ground framed in a leafy arbour, and regards Jekyll serenely, a contrast with the latter's impudent and insignificant profile. After the title: 'Latrat et ore fremit, bile tumetque Je-cur.' Trees form a background. Description from the British Museum.
