'Intended statues for Waterloo Place', 1821. Two large figures on a low pedestal embracing. King George IV is shown as Bacchus and Lady Conyngham as Ariadne. Against the pedestal leans a portfolio which says 'Lady C......'s attitudes suppressed'. Lord Conyngham stands on the left, sprouting antlers. Lady Elizabeth Conyngham was one of the King's mistresses.
