A young lady, fashionably dressed with the big hair style of the day, walks along a park pathway, towards two elderly gentlemen, one tall and thin, the other quite stout, who approach her from the left. She turns back to the right to smile at another gentleman walking behind her. The lady wears her hair in the extravagant heart-shaped style of the period, with ringlets on the sides, ribbons and ostrich plumes, and her skirt protrudes in the back over a cork bustle

"Thomas Coke of Norfolk leads his bride through a pastoral landscape; he prances gaily along hat in hand, turning to look at her, and singing, Oh the Days when I was Young; in his left hand is a book: Coke upon Littleton [see British Museum Satires No. 14423]. She takes his left arm, holding back the gauze veil that floats from a bonnet trimmed with flowers and towering feathers. Her tight-waisted pelisse has a deep crimson border. She is gravely demure, but sings: Of all the Gay Lads that Dance on the Green, Old Tommys the Lad for Me. He looks younger than 67, she older than 18. Behind them (right) is a country church, before them a signpost pointing To the Breeding Park and To the Nursery. An old ram branded C approaches a sheep; a French greyhound prances towards a decrepit and shaggy dog."--British Museum online catalogue

"George III walks in back view with an awkward shuffle, his head turned in profile to the left to greet a tall general who bows. On the right another officer waits, hat in hand, for recognition. They are Lord Cathcart (1755-1843), then major-general, see BMSat 9564, and General David Dundas (under whom Cathcart had served in Holland in 1794-5), see BMSat 9026.
