Print shows the King and three princesses seated at a round dinner-table on the deck of a man-of-war, with a large bowl in the center of the table, into which the ladies dip their spoons; a sailor, putting his hand on the King's shoulder, holds a spoon to his mouth, and the King clutches a dish of cheese. A sailor behind the King (right) points to another sailor who stands at the top of a ladder leading up to the deck holding a bunch of turnips. Military bandsmen (right) play a drum and a pipe; two black musicians standing behind the princesses at far left play on a French horn and a bassoon. Cf. BM Satires.
