George III is held high in the air by Thurlow, on the left, and Pitt and Temple, on the right, who are all floating above the ground with the help of air balloons. The King, frowning and clenching his right fist, is emitting a strong blast of foul air inscribed, "proclamation for dissolution from a broad bottom" that covers in a large cloud the House of Commons below. A large group of men stands on the side of the building, among them Fox, North, and Burke, watching the cloud. On the other side of the House, the muzzled British Lion lies on the ground "asleep." A satire on the dissolution of the Parliament on March 25.

Abstract:
"A whole length figure running forwards. He is grinning; in his right hand he holds up a short shovel, in his left is a brush. His clothes are ragged; his toes appear through remnants of buckled shoes. He wears a laced hat, a cravat, and a ruffled shirt. In place of a wig is what appears to be a tightly-curled lamb's fleece resting on his shoulders; two pieces of crossed wood imitate a sword. A miniature figure in ragged clothes and a long thin queue faces him astride a tasselled cane. He is a chimney sweeper dressed for the first of May celebrations which were usual in London. The small figure may represent a child-apprentice or climbing boy, though there is nothing juvenile in its appearance."--British Museum online catalogue
