Abstract:
"A scene in the Royal yacht. George IV kneels at the feet of 'Lady Hell-fling-stone' who is seated (left), expressing delighted acceptance. The King wears Highland dress with a very short kilt and cavalry boots (see British Museum Satires No. 14220) on bare legs. His (Garter) star is centred by a heart. He has a love-sick expression, right hand on his heart, his feathered bonnet in his left hand. On an ornate altar-like table are decanters and glasses. Curtis, even more burlesqued than before, enters (right) carrying a tureen of steaming (turtle) soup. He is in Highland costume with spoon, knife, and fork in the belt that encircles his paunch; a double chain of sausages (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14389) hangs from his shoulders, and he wears a fool's cap."--British Museum online catalogue
