This painting was probably created to record the first public appearance of the Gold State Coach on 25 November 1762. It shows the King riding in the coach, pulled by eight horses and flanked by Yeoman of the Guard and members of the Household Cavalry. Originally intended to be used at the Coronation of George III, the coach was not completed until 1762 and its first outing was for the State Opening of Parliament.
