The subject of Gillray's caricature has been identified as amateur artist General Thomas Davies. Cf. George.
Print shows an officer wearing boots, plumed cocked hat, and an enormous sabre, stands full-face, with shoulders hunched, a porte-crayon in his mouth. Under his right arm is a portfolio of 'Caricatures', while crude caricature prints are pinned to the wall: 'Wit' is a squatting woman looking over her shoulder to say "Baiser!". 'Character' is a quasi-lion with an ass's head inscribed 'This is a Red Lion'. A print of a Jean-de-Bry coat and a boot is inscribed 'Classick Studies'. An African woman (possibly intended to represent Sarah Baartman) is inscribed 'Venus de Medicis is Grace'. A goat painting a recumbent nude on a canvas inscribed 'Leith Harbour is Refined Sentiment'. On a table against the wall (right) is a bottle of 'Velno', and two books: 'Aretine's Postures' and 'La Pucelle'. Under the table is a large portfolio: 'Hints from Bunbury'; 'Mat . . Darly - Lord Townshend &c &c.'
