- Abstract
-
"The Prince and Mrs. Fitzherbert, dancing to the fiddle of George Hanger (right), advance towards an open door (left) through which is seen a large bed, the curtains raised; above the pillows are a crown and triple plume. The feathers are repeated on a chamber-pot under the raised valance of the bed. They are more elaborately dressed than in BMSat 6924; their arms are round each other's waists, the Prince holds with his right hand the left hand of Mrs. Fitzherbert. She wears a small crown, with flowers and ribbons, and triple ostrich plume. George Hanger is dressed as in BMSat 6924; he stands in profile to the left, watching the couple fixedly; a bludgeon hangs from his wrist. An open music-book at his feet shows that he is playing the 'Black Joke'. On the floor (left) are an open book, 'Matrimony', and a torn paper, 'Cirtificate'. Over the door is a picture of Cupid with his bow turning away from DanaeĢ receiving the shower of gold."--British Museum online catalogue.
