In the fourth of these plates[4] are the following portraits: Mrs. _Lane_ (afterwards Lady _Bingley_) adoring _Carestini_; her husband _Fox Lane_ asleep. _Rouquet_ only calls him "Un gentilhomme campagnard, fatigué d'une course après quelque renard ou quelque cerf, s'endort." This idea seems to be countenanced by the whip in his hand. The same explainer adds, speaking of the two next figures, "Ici on voit en papillotes un de ces personages qui passent toute leur vie à tâcher de plaire sans y reüssir; la, un eventail au poing, on reconnoît un de ces hérétiques en amour, un sectateur d'_Anacreon_." The former of these has been supposed to represent Monsieur _Michel_, the _Prussian_ ambassador. _Weideman_ is playing on the _German_ flute.--The pictures in the room are properly suited to the bed-chamber of a profligate pair--_Jupiter_ and _Io, Lot_ with his Daughters, _Ganymede_ and the Eagle, and the Young Lawyer who debauches the Countess. The child's coral, hanging from the back of the chair she sits in, serves to shew she was already a mother; a circumstance that renders her conduct still more unpardonable. Some of her new-made purchases, exposed on the floor, bear witness to the warmth of her inclinations. These will soon be gratified at the fatal masquerade, for which her paramour is offering her a ticket. The pompous picture on the right hand of the window in the nobleman's apartment, Plate I. also deserves attention. It appears to be designed as a ridicule on the unmeaning flutter of _French_ portraits, some of which (particularly those of _Louis_ XIV.) are painted in a style of extravagance equal at least to the present parody by _Hogarth_. This ancestor of our peer is invested with several foreign orders. At the top of one corner of the canvas, are two winds blowing across each other, while the hero's drapery is flying quite contrary directions. A comet is likewise streaming over his head. In his hand he grasps the lightning of _Jove_, and reposes on a cannon going off, whose ball is absurdly rendered an object of sight. A smile, compounded of self-complacency and pertness, is the characteristic of his face. On the cieling of this magnificent saloon is a representation of _Pharaoh_ and his Host drowned in the Red Sea. The pictures underneath are not on the most captivating subjects--_David_ killing _Goliath--Prometheus_ and the Vulture--the Murder of the _Innocents--Judith_ and _Holofernes_--St. _Sebastian_ shot full of Arrows--_Cain_ destroying _Abel_--and St. _Laurence_ on the Gridiron. Among such little circumstances in this plate as might escape the notice of a careless spectator, is the Thief in the Candle, emblematic of the mortgage on his Lordship's estate.
