A photograph of a caricature by Thomas Patch, painted about 1760 in Florence. The caricature depicts a wealthy woman, Mistress Tabitha Mendes sitting for a portrait. The artist is said to represent Patch himself. A maid is standing behind the mistress and is holding a small dog. A man, John, third Duke of Roxburghe and suitor of Mistress Tabitha, is standing beside the artist's easel with his back to the two women.
