George III, half length, stands in profile to the left, a holding a tiny Napoleon on the palm of his right hand, and inspecting him through a spy-glass. He wears military uniform with a bag-wig. The only background is a dark cloud-like shadow across the lower part of the design (BM). / This clever design is said to have been the work of Lieut.-Colonel Bradyll, of the Coldstream Guards, and not of Gillray, who it is presumed only etched it (Wright/Evans).
