He is standing, facing to the right, in full regimentals. He holds
a scroll of paper in his hands in front of him. Behind him is his
crown and sceptre; and in the background the two peers, and a view
of Coxheath Camp. On canvas, 9 ft. 6 in. high, by 7 ft. wide.
It appears from West's own memoranda that this picture was painted
before 1779, consequently the King cannot have been more than
forty.
85 Duke of Cambridge, and Princesses Charlotte and Augusta
(_487_) . . . . . WEST.
The Duke, in a maroon-coloured suit, is standing on the right.
Princess Charlotte is sitting on a stool, with her sister on her
lap. In the background are a curtain, a column, and Kew Gardens
with the Pagoda. Signed on the top in the left hand corner; and
dated 1778. On canvas, 9 ft. high, by 6 ft. wide.
Princess Charlotte, George III.'s eldest daughter, afterwards Queen
of Wirtemburg, was born on September 29th, 1766; and Princess
Augusta, on November 8th, 1768. It is doubtful whether the names
are correct.
