Psalm Singing at the Chapel (BM 1868,0808.6194)
Summary
The King, Queen, and two princesses, all three-quarter length, sing with wide-open mouths. Above them is engraved 'How pleasant is my dwelling place'; this is repeated in the open books held by the King and Queen. George III on the extreme left and the Queen next him are much caricatured; they stand in profile to the right, one hand extended, the King looking up with a staring eyeball. Next them is the Princess Royal, also with a book and in profile. On the extreme right is Princess Elizabeth wearing a turban, full face, with no book; her wide-open mouth and attitude (right arm extended, left arm bent) suggest an operatic singer. 17 May 1792
