This print shows a man dressed as a woman in a fancy 18th-century outfit. His hair is piled high with curls, and he wears a low-cut dress with ruffles and a big bow at the neck. The sleeves are puffy, and the dress flares out at the bottom. The title at the bottom reads *"Mr. Garrick as Sir John Brute,"* with a playful line: *"So how do you like my shapes now?"* This suggests the print pokes fun at a theater performance. To see more prints like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
