Abstract: "A farm-yard scene with Windsor Castle in the distance (right). In the centre four pigs feed at a trough; George III (right) and Queen Charlotte (left) stand on each side of it facing each other in profile, both slightly caricatured. At the King's feet are a bucket and a young pig. The Queen scatters grain to chickens and ducks. On the right a guardsman walks off carrying a bundle of turnips across his shoulder (see BMSat 6946). In the background (left) are haystacks and farm buildings; from one projects the sign of a royal crown inverted. A young woman (probably one of the princesses) advances with a basket (cf. BMSat 7897). On the right is a large placard on a post, 'Mantraps & Spring Guns'. Behind it are sheep."--British Museum catalogue
