-
Caricature of a coat of arms for Queen Caroline and Bergami with the central figure with a satyr's face, a hat "Caroline Bergami gratia -- Half a crown", and white robes richly decorated with scenes from their life on an escutcheon with Chastity and Innocence as supporters, all surrounded by rich red robes lined with ermine. The scenes include: Adam and Eve, two heads peeping from a tent, a scene with Bergami kneeling before the Queen leaning in to kiss, a plump Queen jumping up like a jack-in-the box, the two in costume dancing, the Queen riding an ass. Other suggestive decorative details include ostrich plumes, ribbons with medals engraved "Night of the Dunghill" (Bergami) and Knight of the Thistle with a shield "The Times ... Lies ... Bribery". At the base, Knight of the Bath with a scene with Bergami reaching towards the Queen in her bath above a medallion "Knight of St. Columbine and Penance" surrounded by a banner "My fancy's so free, I rove like a bee."
