The scene unfolds with Johnson abruptly rising to his feet while remaining motionless as the king approaches him. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these two influential figures come face to face.

King George III exudes an air of regal grace as he extends kindness towards Johnson, instantly putting him at ease. This depiction highlights the monarch's ability to effortlessly connect with people from all walks of life, even renowned intellectuals like Dr. Samuel Johnson.
