- Abstract:
- "The Prince and Mrs. Fitzherbert, dancing to the fiddle of George Hanger (right), advance towards an open door (left) through which is seen a large bed, the curtains raised; above the pillows are a crown and triple plume. The feathers are repeated on a chamber-pot under the raised valance of the bed. They are more elaborately dressed than in BMSat 6924; their arms are round each other's waists, the Prince holds with his right hand the left hand of Mrs. Fitzherbert. She wears a small crown, with flowers and ribbons, and triple ostrich plume. George Hanger is dressed as in BMSat 6924; he stands in profile to the left, watching the couple fixedly; a bludgeon hangs from his wrist. An open music-book at his feet shows that he is playing the 'Black Joke'. On the floor (left) are an open book, 'Matrimony', and a torn paper, 'Cirtificate'. Over the door is a picture of Cupid with his bow turning away from Danaë receiving the shower of gold."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The interior of a large church or cathedral. Burke, dressed as a Jesuit, standing within a low, semicircular wall at the foot of a crucifix, marries the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert. The Prince is about to put the ring on her finger. Fox gives her away, holding her left wrist. Beside him (right) stands Weltje in back view but looking to the left at the ceremony. A napkin is under his left arm, bottles project from his coat-pockets, and the tags on his shoulder denote the liveried manservant. To the left of Fox appears the profile of George Hanger. On the left North sits, leaning against the altar wall, sound asleep, his legs outstretched. He wears his ribbon but is dressed as a coachman, his hat and whip beside him. All the men wear top-boots to suggest a runaway match. Behind the Prince in a choir seat is a row of kneeling monks who are chanting the marriage service. The crucifix is partly covered by a curtain, but the legs and feet are painfully distorted ... On the wall and pillars of the church are four framed pictures: 'David watching Bathsheba bathing', 'St. Anthony tempted by monsters', 'Eve tempting Adam with the apple', and 'Judas kissing Christ', the last being over the head of Fox."--British Museum online catalogue
