Trimmed to within plate mark.
Mrs. Fitzherbert (left), stout and matronly, and Princess Caroline of Brunswick (right), slim and girlish, stand facing each other, the former irate and dishevelled, with clenched fists, the latter surprised but scarcely hostile; the elder woman is caricatured but not the younger. Under Mrs. Fitzherbert's feet are the Prince of Wales's coronet, feathers, and motto. The Princess wears the coronet and feathers, with a short-waisted dress and ribbon sash. Her rival's dress has a pointed corsage. The background is a wall with a striped paper, in the middle of which is a small window framed by heavy curtains. Two oval seascapes hang on the wall: behind Mrs. Fitzherbert a boat with a flag approaches a crowd standing on the shore; behind the Princess a woman standing on the shore holds out her arms to a ship in full sail.
