Ancient Music, 1787
King George III and Queen Charlotte enjoy a concert, oblivious to the discord of their ministers and subjects. Prime Minister William Pitt stands to the left, playing a flute. Gillray's satire attacks Pitt for obsequiousness to the King, and accuses the King and Queen of miserliness - they attended the Concerts of Antient Music as subscribers instead of having concerts at their palace
