Mrs Mary Anne Clarke', 1809. Portrait, painted from life. Mary Anne Clarke, nee Thompson (c1776-1852), became the mistress of the Duke of York in 1803. In 1809 a national scandal erupted when it emerged that she had been selling army commissions, forcing the Duke to resign his position as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. He was later exonerated and re-instated, while Mary Anne Clarke was convicted of libel in 1813 and imprisoned for 9 months. From 'The Cyprian of St. Stephen's, or, Princely protection illustrated; in a poetical flight to the Pierian Spring (A satire on the Duke of York and Mrs Mary Anne Clarke. With a portrait of the latter)' by Sam Satiricus (W Hobday). (Bath, 1809).
