Abstract: "The King (right), standing in profile to the left, holds out to Peter a rolled document inscribed 'Pension'. Peter, a thin elderly man, turns away, holding out both hands to ward off the gift. From his pocket projects a paper inscribed 'Odes'. Both wear bag-wigs, and old-fashioned dress with flapped waistcoats; the King wears a sword."-- British Museum online catalogue
