Description
Allegory of the coronation of George I showing the king enthroned with one hand resting on a globe while the other accepts the sceptre from a female figure representing England; above him, Fame, assisted by two putti, brings the crown, while the spirit of the people brings a shield with the arms of England and religion. To the left, stand Plenty and Justice; to the right, the Prince of Wales and his sister Princess Sophia Dorothea, Queen of Prussia, converse with Minerva. On the steps of the throne, the lion of England menaces the Vices of Envy, Error, Fraud and Discord which are revealed by Time to be driven off by Hercules and Mercury, representing Vertue and Eloquence.
