Working over the flats in troubled water
Elmes, William, active 1797-1820 · July 1, 1812
Sheridan in harlequin dress rows an open boat, over which large waves are breaking, towards a rock on the horizon inscribed 'Cape Clear', The others in the boat are (left to right) Moira, in the bows, Yarmouth pumping hard, the Regent, McMahon, and Lady Hertford who steers with an oar. Next her sits the Prince, vomiting, his head held by McMahon, who says, "This is Sorry—Work indeed."
