- Abstract
-
Two stout ladies, dressed in long gowns, confront each other. Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) with her second the Prince of Wales faces in a confident manner the scowling and clumsy Mrs. Schwellenberg whose second, Pitt offers her a lemon. The furious German woman holds a massive sceptre in both her hands raised above her head ready to strick her opponent. All the figures have speech bubbles above their heads referencing the rights of the people, the Prince's morganatic marriage, Catholics, and the issue of money going to Germany
