- Abstract:
- "The Prince and Mrs. Fitzherbert in the bedroom of a French inn ; a maidservant enters (left) with a tea-tray. The Prince, yawning and stretching with a dissipated air, is seated on the edge of a table; the revelry of the past night is indicated by an overturned decanter, broken wineglass, and a broken candle. Another candlestick and broken wine-glass lie on the ground, together with the Prince's top-boots. He wears slippers and his stockings are ungartered, the 'honi soit qui mal y' [pense] ribbon hanging round his leg. Mrs. Fitzherbert, seated on the bed, draws on a stocking; her garter inscribed 'Fox' lies on the ground (cf. British Museum satire 7306). The bed is heavily draped with fringed curtains. The Prince's feathered hat hangs on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue.
