"The Prince stands with folded arms, in the corner of a room, gazing up at a three-quarter length portrait of Lady Jersey as a pretty young woman; she looks down at him alluringly. The portrait hangs over the chimney-piece (right), a fire burns in the grate. From his right hand dangles disregarded an oval miniature of the Princess of Brunswick. Beside the Prince, who turns his back on him, stands a grotesque German courier, who holds up a tiny pair of stockings on the feet of which are shoes. The German has moustaches, a pigtail queue reaching to the ground, he wears spurred top-boots and holds a glove; he gapes with astonishment at the portrait. On the two walls other pictures are arranged in two rows, the lower part only of the upper row being visible. These are (above): 'Pretty Millener', a reclining figure; 'Portrait of a Lady & Child', a pregnant lady leads a child; 'Mrs Crouch' (three-quarter length). Below, 'Mrs Robinson' (three-quarter length); 'Florizel & Perdita', the pair with arms entwined, the King and (?) Queen crouch behind a tree to spy on them; 'Fitsherbet' [sic], who stands, looking to the left, holding a rosary."--British Museum online catalogue

"Bergami, moustachioed, whiskered, and alluring, in a tight-fitting harlequin's suit over which is a short gold-laced jacket, sits on a tall stool, holding up a life-like puppet representing the Queen. He grasps it by the waist, and pulls a ribbon, making arms and legs fly up. She smiles delightedly down at him, her ringlets flying. She wears the décolletée over-dress of British Museum Satires No. 14103, open to show frilled and spotted drawers. Bergami, part courier, part Harlequin, has a heavy queue of hair hanging from his black curls, and wears a peaked cap with a big gold tassel. A heavy postilion's whip projects from his pocket. He is directed to the left, towards an open French window and a vine trellis, with a view of Lake Como (see British Museum Satires No. 13857). He raises his right leg, looking over his left shoulder, away from his puppet. On the floor are the courier's discarded pistol, powder-flask, holster, and saddle; behind his chair are portmanteaus, one inscribed 'B B'. A large book propped against a decanter inscribed 'A Boire' is: 'Hop Step and Jump, or, every man his own Courier. List of Postes on the high road from Dunghill, to Barona' [see British Museum Satires No. 14119]. A partly dropped curtain (right) reveals two figurines embracing below a shelf of books. The carpet is patterned with hearts."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state
