Since 1793
The Miller was a chap of sixteen stone,
A great stout fellow big in brawn and bone.
A wrangler and a buffoon, he had a store
Of tavern stories, filthy in the main.
The Infamous Miller, famous to a certain generation as compulsory English Literature reading, is a really characterful figure.
He is depicted warts and all, with a palette using mainly terracotta and cobalt blue – even his bagpipes are shown in a suitable check.
