The engraving shows 2 panels, one containing King George and the other Queen Charlotte. Barry wanted these to replace the portraits of Lord Romney and Lord Folkestone in the Great Room. Barry wanted the panel showing King George to be stationed between the Great Room paintings of 'Orpheus' and 'Grecian Harvest Home', while the picture of Queen Charlotte he wanted to be sited opposite, between 'The Thames' and 'The Distribution of the Premiums'. Barry was never permitted to replace the existing portraits of Lords Romney and Folkestone. \nAlthough the engraving shows a publication date of 1 May 1791 the first publication did not actually occur until 1792.
