Abstract: George III, plainly dressed and wearing a broad-brimmed hat, stands in profile to the right, addressing a pretty young woman (Hannah Lightfoot?) seated on a stile, a bucker at her feet. They are under a large tree on whose trunk is fixed a sign pointing 'To Cheltenham Spa'. A path from the stile leads to the village of Cheltenham in the background. Behind the tree Queen Charlotte watches the conversation, her hand pointing near her cheek. On a hill (left) is a pavilion on wheels
