"George IV, dressed as a monk, stoops over Lady Conyngham (right), placing a hand on her breast. He is clean-shaven, his whiskers, inscribed 'Transferred Whiskers', form a border to a bald head, giving the effect of a tonsure. She is décolletée, dressed in white, with white drapery from her head, suggesting a travesty of a nun (cf. British Museum Satires No. 5177). He says: "Speak freely thou Cunning-one, and by St George, I will give thee Absolution--(let me see) a Faux-Pas, is no deadly sin, and loving other men, it is our duty to love each other." She says: "Since my Conversion (Holy Father) I feel much lighter you have put a new conscience into me." They are large half length figures, hiding much of the background. Behind the King (left) on a table are wine-bottle of 'Holy Water', goblet, open book, and crucifix. Above this is a picture of asses at table, drinking wine: 'Feast of Asses in honour of Balaam's a[ss]'. Behind Lady Conyngham (right) is a picture of a monk birching the bare back of her husband, who kneels, holding up a cross; on his forehead are large antlers: 'St Francis Doing Penance', placarded 'NB The origin of this Picture may be seen at Hamilton Place' [see British Museum Satires No. 13848]."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) in bed, supported on her right elbow, looks fixedly towards a warming-pan held by a stout woman who approaches the foot of the bed. In the perforations of the pan are stuck three ostrich feathers; a monk, holding up a crucifix, gazes down at it. Mrs. Fitzherbert wears a large frilled cap and a nightdress with ruffles. The fringed bed-curtains are looped up. On the extreme right is part of a draped table on which are a cup, bowl, and a large urn (probably materials for caudle). On the wall are three pictures: one, the 'Royal Hunt', a man galloping beside hounds; this has the motto 'Ich Ich' (in place of 'Ich dien') with three ostrich feathers. It is flanked by two profile heads facing each other: one is 'Wig', the other 'Torey', but they do not appear to be portraits. The carpet is patterned with Prince of Wales's feathers."--British Museum online catalogue

A Flemish or Dutch drawing of a female saint in a Poor Clare habit and with a crown of thorns (probably Catherine of Siena) kneeling before a crucifix, arms crossed over her chest, as she resists the temptation of riches, power, and pleasure. Riches are represented by three well-dressed men on the left offering her treasure, including an open chest filled with coins and valuables. Power is represented by a crown suspended in the cloud above, while pleasure represented on the right by two female musicians, one playing a flute and another a lute, while a third woman offers a bouquet of flowers. Above and behind the figures on the left is the ruin of a building. In the clouds on the right above the musicians, the triumph of faith over temptation is represented as the grim reaper with a scythe cutting down three kings whose crowns topple from their heads
