A satire on Queen Caroline's alleged affair with Bartolomeo Bergami. On the left is the figure of Queen Caroline, with a parasol in her right hand and holding the hand of a child with her left hand. The child says "Only look- how he kicks!!" Her response is "Yes, yes, child- Many will be upset before it's over.-" The donkey, wearing a rosette and elaborate saddle, bucks his rider, Bergami, who says "I'm not a great rider - I only ride a Donkey!!!" A servant dressed in oriental costume makes reference to himself and his master, saying "My master and I are both Greeks." The grotto behind the servant has a sign "Grotto. Villa d'Este"; above the grotto is a wind vane with an arrow pointing left on which is inscribed "Non mi Recordo." The white structure of Villa d'Este proper is seen on the left above the bushes, with Lake Como and the mountains beyond in the center background. In the foreground, amongst the flowers, is a potted orange tree on the left and a potted pineapple on the right

"The Duke of Cumberland, with large head, huge moustache and whiskers and savage teeth, rides a galloping horse, his hands crossed on his breast; he glares at two young women, terrified and spinsterish, who scream, brandishing parasols; a third is climbing over a paling. A signpost points 'To Barnes'. See British Museum Satires No. 17273, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"A slim young man walks in profile to the left holding a small flat umbrella on a long stick, which gives little protection from the slanting rain. He wears a high hat with a cylindrical crown, a short cut-away coat, bulky swathed neck-cloth; long tight breeches reach to his calf, where they are tied with ribbons; his low wrinkled top-boots show striped stockings above them. Two seals hang from his fob. He walks mincingly, holding a small cane. Behind (right) a man bending forward to meet the wind and rain is about to collide with a woman carrying a tub on her head. A high stone wall forms a background. Cf. BMSat 7805."--British Museum online catalogue

"A number of persons take shelter under the enormous hat-brim of a lady who screams, clasping her hands in alarm. An infant chimney-sweep or 'climbing boy' has climbed up her petticoats and sits astride on their lateral projection. A larger chimney-sweep is about to climb up, putting one foot on his sack of soot. A cloaked market-woman, smoking a pipe, stands under the shelter, as does a man in the dress of a naval officer. A sailor, wearing trousers, his arms folded, appears to be dancing a hornpipe under the shelter of the hat. In the background (right) a lady walks (right to left) holding up a small umbrella which shelters only a minute part of her enormous hat which extends far beyond her projecting breast and petticoats. In the foreground chickens run towards a hen for shelter. A house (left) and a high wall behind which is a tree (right) complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue
