The prince of wales, bowing low in profile to the left, receives a lady, dignified and handsome, who enters, covering with her gown a girl who crouches low, looking at the prince, and who is entirely concealed except for her profile, a hand, and the lower part of her dress. In the background (right) is a supper-table at which the king and queen (the latter addressing the former) are seated under a canopy with the royal arms. Other guests at the oval table are freely sketched. A chandelier and patterned carpet complete the design. 4 february 1795
