George III, much caricatured, sits in a stage box in profile to the right, goggling delightedly at the clown who sits on the stage immediately facing the King, stuffing the end of a giant (?) carrot into his mouth. Follet rests one foot on the side of the royal box and stares at the King. He wears a striped tunic with a double frill at his neck, breeches, and heavily clocked stockings; on his face are broad black lines. The King holds a telescope to his farther (invisible) eye; his right hand rests on a playbill which hangs over the edge of the box: 'By Command of their Majestys Harlequin and Oberon'. 3 April 1797
