"A squalid domestic interior: the Prince of Wales (right) and Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) sit facing each other on each side of an open fireplace. A calf's head suspended from a string roasts before the fire. She mends a pair of breeches which he has taken off; on the breeches and on his left leg the word 'Honi' is conspicuous. He is out at elbows though fashionably dressed. Next to Mrs. Fitzherbert and on the extreme left is an infant in a wicker cradle, on rockers; the Prince negligently holds a string attached to the cradle. On the wall is a ballad: 'A Begging We will go &c.' The Prince of Wales' feathers also decorate the wall. On the extreme right is a small table, scantily laid for one. Weltje kneels beside it, unpacking a basket of potatoes. He looks round at George Hanger who stands behind the table in profile to the left holding a mug."--British Museum online catalogue
