KING GEORGE IV SIR WILLIAM KNIGHTON LADY CONYNGHAM WILLIAM HEATH 1830

Heath's caricature presents Sir William Knighton, standing to the left of the composition, and Elizabeth Conyngham, Marchioness Conyngham, seated to the right, amidst an argument regarding the bequest of king George IV. Conyngham had been the mistress of Georg IV since 1819, and upon his death in June 1830, only a few months prior to the execution of Heath's caricature, had bequeathed her all of his jewels. There appears to be some dispute over whether it was Conyngham that rejected the bequest, or whether it was in fact Knighton, Keeper of the Privy Purse to George IV, that had prevented Conyngham from appropriating the jewels. Rumour that Knighton and Conyngham were acting in collision had also been spread. The argument appears somewhat tense. Knighton, standing to the left, leans towards Conyngham with a menacing stance.
