- Abstract:
- "The Prince stands outside the gate of Carlton House as in BMSat 7167, but receives in a lordly manner two purses from two obsequiously bowing Treasury Secretaries (Rose and Steele). He is dressed as in BMSat 7167, but wears his coronet. Pitt, Sydney, and Dundas kneel in a grovelling manner behind the Prince, whose posteriors Pitt is about to kiss. Fox, North, Burke, and Sheridan stand behind, with gestures and expressions of pleased surprise. A tiny figure, the Duke of Richmond, is at work with a trowel on the replaced scaffolding (right), while Thurlow mounts a ladder carrying a hod. On the left a crowd of workmen wave their hats and tools in delight. In the foreground (left) sits a one-legged and one-armed sailor clasping a purse."--British Museum online catalogue
