"George IV sits fishing under a little pavilion; his rod is a sceptre, larger than that in Britis Museum Satires No. 15126. He has hooked a frog, which Lady Conyngham, kneeling beside him, is about to scoop with a landing-net. She says: Oh what a beautifull fish! I think its something of the Gudgeon kind, but a most Noble one. A large kingfisher stands on the opposite bank watching them. The King sits on an ornate stool, resting a gouty leg on a smaller one. He wears a bell-shaped top-hat, the plain high-collared coat of recent portraits with knee-breeches. Beside him are creel and bait-box. The pavilion is merely an ornate canopy for his stool, decorated with onion domes like that of the Pavilion, bells, and a crown. Lady Conyngham wears a décolletée dress with long gloves, and roses in her hair. Behind is a realistic view of the Cottage, with a peacock in front of it, and Windsor Castle."--British Museum online catalogue

"George IV stands on the doorstep of a London house, his hat under his arm. Lord Conyngham, standing beside him, and bowing low, motions him towards the open door. The King asks: Is your Wife at Home, holding up his right hand so that the fingers simulate horns above the Marquis's head. The latter, who wears a court suit, answers: At your Service! Lady Conyngham peeps from a ground-floor window, saying, He's coming 'pon my Honour. John Bull (right), a sturdy fellow in ill-fitting brown wig and gaiters, and with a heavy cudgel for walking-stick, walks towards them along the pavement. He registers astonishment, saying, Dash my Wig! A footman looks up from the area (left), saying, Cuckoo and holding up two fingers derisively.
