The Prince, the central figure, rides an ass with the head of Mrs. Fitzherbert; he wears very long spurs. He is preceded by three animals, the foremost being George Hanger led by a groom (Captain Morris); on his saddle-cloth are the Prince's feathers, as if to show his privileged position. Next is Fox, his mouth wide open as if braying, next Weltje. Behind (left), apparently doubtful whether to proceed or not, is Lord Derby (or perhaps Lord North). Geese in the foreground (right) hiss at the procession."--British Museum online catalogue
