Summary:"George III, dressed like a farmer, rides a sorry horse towards Windsor. Queen Charlotte sits pillion behind him like a farmer's wife; he is in profile, she full-face, both feet in a wide stirrup or platform. He points awkwardly with his stick towards Windsor. A dog walks before them, its collar inscribed 'G.R. Windsor Castle' (left) is among trees; a signpost (left) points 'To Windsor' and 'To Slough'. On the extreme right is a milestone, 'XX Miles from St James's'."--British Museum online catalogue.
