"Stanhope, striding forward in profile to the left, approaches an altar to 'French Principles', while with his left foot and left hand he overturns a bishop seated behind him on a bench. On the summit of a quasi-cylindrical altar is the seated figure of a female monster with webbed wings, snaky hair, and pendent breasts, a firebrand in the right hand, a dagger in the left. Behind her stands a foppish Frenchman with a simian head, dressed as a soldier, one foot resting on a large skull. In his right hand is a headsman's axe, in his left he holds out to Stanhope a hangman's noose. Stanhope places on the altar a paper inscribed in large letters: 'Philosophy Atheism Rapine Murder'. The altar itself is decorated with a headsman's axe and block, the word 'Liberté' in a wreath, and shackles. At its foot lie a cross and an overturned chalice. The bishop's head is turned in back view; he topples backwards as Stanhope kicks his bench; he represents the bench of bishops ..."--British Museum online catalogue
