- Abstract
-
"Warren Hastings, in oriental dress, kneels full-face on one knee between two cards; he holds out in each hand a lozenge, the diamond of a pack of cards: that on his right is a knave with the head of Thurlow, that on his left is a king with the head of George III (cf. BMSat 6969). Neither card has an indication of the suit: the hand of each appears ready to grasp the diamond held out by Hastings."--British Museum online catalogue
