About this work

Description

Possibly to be identified with William III's corn-cutter. "His appearance was striking, flowing locks of hair, and formal curled whiskers, earrings, and curiously cut coat and waistcoat. He paraded the streets in this bizarre attire to attract the attention of prospective patients. He wore a badge in the design of King William's Coate of Arms, hanging by a chain at his side, and a similar badge as a clasp to fasten his waistcoat" (Dagnall)
