Title
Family canvas, or dresss antient and modern
Description
English: A fashionably dressed lady and gentleman are seated facing each other, a tea-table between them. She wears an enormous 'derrière' and a projecting bosom; a round hat with a huge brim surrounded by a curtain frill of lace, through which her eyes and much-curled hair are visible. He wears a tight-fitting coat with a high collar, large buttons, and projecting shirt-frill. His hair or wig is in a looped queue with large side-curls. He looks at himself in a pocket-mirror with a satisfied air. His cane and round hat are on a chair behind him.


The 'antient' dresses are those of the three quarter length portraits on the wall: in the centre are a gentleman and lady standing together in early Georgian dress, each holds a crook, a bird sits on the lady's finger. This is flanked by a lady (left) in quasi-Elizabethan dress, wearing a conical hat, a ruff, and a hooped petticoat in the form of a cylinder; and a man (right) wearing a high hat, cloak, slashed doublet, and breeches, holding a hooded hawk. 16 May 1786

Licensing

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
