"George III (three-quarter length) stands in profile to the left, nearsightedly examining an oval miniature of Oliver Cromwell by the light of a candle held in his left hand. The half length, looking to the right, in armour, probably derives from the pl. after Cooper in Mechell's ed. of Rapin's 'History', 1733. The candlestick is of massive plate holding a candle-end supported on a save-all (cf. BMSat 8091). The King is only slightly caricatured, but his receding forehead and chin and open mouth are exaggerated."--British Museum online catalogue

Charles Fox, as Harlequin, and Lord North, as Pantaloon, perform on stage for the members of their party. Fox, standing on one leg, holds the Harlequin's 'magic' wand above the head of a bust of George III. Above the wand hangs the royal crown suspended from an air balloon. Behind his back, Fox passes to a smiling North a piece of paper inscribed, "Prerogative." The audience, that includes on the left, in the box, the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Robinson, and in the pit, among the others, Keppel and Burke, applauds the performance. The back wall of the stage is decorated with a portrait of Cromwell. On the wall facing the King's bust hangs a map of the United States
