"- so Skiffy-Skipt-on, with his wonted grace-", James Gillray, 1800

Skeffington skips forward (left to right); his sharp-featured profile emerges, grinning, from a sharp-pointed collar and swathed cravat. His hair is swept forward in careful disarray, which, with his heavy whisker, goes ill with the black bag which flies outwards. His dress is a curious hybrid of embroidered court dress and knee-breeches, with the recent fashions of gathered sleeves ('jean de bry', see bmsat 9425), bulky neck-cloth, and cut-away tails showing bunches of seals. Below the neck-cloth is a double lace shirt-frill. See bmsat 9440. 1 february 1800 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1800. Dimensions: Height: 254 mm; Width: 175 mm. Medium: paper. Depicted People: Hon Lumley St George Skeffington. Collection: British Museum. "- so Skiffy-Skipt-on, with his wonted grace-" (BM 1868,0808.6849)
