Johann Heinrich Ramberg - Moses chusing his cook (BM J,4.113)

Lord George Gordon dines in Newgate surrounded by obsequious Jews. He sits in profile to the right before a small circular table; a Jew holding a plate offers him food in a spoon. Another Jew wearing a hat and old-fashioned laced waistcoat stands (right) holding a dish. Four others hasten towards the table from the right. A Jew wearing a gaberdine and skull-cap with a goat-like beard stands behind his chair; another wearing a hat and a voluminous gown stands full face on Gordon's left, holding up his arms in rapture at the distinguished convict. Through a stone archway (left) an English cook advances, carrying a sucking-pig on a dish. A grotesque-looking Jew is about to kick him; another, holding his nose, hastens after him, his arm raised threateningly. In the foreground (left) a spaniel gnaws a bone. Massive stone masonry and a barred window high up in the wall indicate Newgate. Gordon's lank hair falls on his shoulders and he has a beard, but he and the English cook are not caricatured. The Jews are of grotesque and exaggerated Jewish type, all with beards. 11 February 1788
