"A spectacled man, wearing riding-dress with spurred top-boots, seizes a stout lady by the hair and flourishes a riding-whip, saying, "Pro bono Patriae". A younger man (left) puts his hand on his shoulder, saying, "I'll support you". He is wildly cheered by an election crowd (left), who wave their hats. The lady's feathered bonnet lies on the ground, her hair streams down her back, and she holds out her arms in terror. A group of cathedral clergy stand on the right watching with gestures and expressions of alarm and disapproval. Behind is a square church tower (right) with pinnacles."--British Museum online catalogue
