Portrait of the actor Charles Mathews, full-length, shown four times in character: left to right: a very fat man in profile to right, left hand at his chest, right on a table, looking ahead with wounded pride; a drunken ostler, smiling dazedly and hugging brushes and a stool to himself; a simpleton amusing himself with trying to catch a fly, stepping forward to right; a gentleman sitting in profile to left, watching the fly with an air of half-amused curiosity, his arms folded across his chest; after Harlow. 1817
