    The gentleman is also wearing his sword and is therefore under arms and should have on his cover.

    The picture is used to illustrate Court or Levee Dress for a gentleman. He is shown wearing a bonnet, because he would obviously wear one out -of -doors, but of course would remove the bonnet when inside. He is not "under arms" as you put it; gentlemen just wore swords to court functions!
