"A bonassus or bison (right), with the head of Bergami, is embraced by the Queen, who kneels on one knee to kiss the large face. He affectionately places a hoof on her knee. She wears white frilled trousers, with short slashed and tasselled jacket, feathered cap, scarlet high-heeled shoes with turned-up pointed toes; the usual miniature of Bergami dangles below her waist. The scene is the beast's pen. Wood, wearing his gown, rushes up from the left, arms raised, distressed at the rencontre. A grinning beefeater stands by.
