- Abstract:
- A satire, with figures drawn virtually in outline, including the images on artist easels. Starting from the right, the Princess of Wales, mother of George III, leans on a table, her skirts around her hips exposing her derrière to the bare-breeched Earl of Bute who stoops toward her. To the left of him is the French minister the Duc of Nivernois who also bows obsequiously toward the Earl and Princess. In the middle of the image are the representatives of Holland and Spain. On the left Hogarth in a Scotch kilt stands before his easel painting a large jack-boot; behind him is another canvas with a portrait of Pitt that has been scratched out. All of the images have speech bubbles in which they discuss how to curry favor at court. The satirical comments are directed against Hogarth after he accepted the position of Serjeant Painter to the King

- Abstract:
- Charles Churchill in the form of a huge bear (right, as in Hogarth's print The Bruiser) and wearing clerical neckbands, looks down, mouth agap, at a little dog (left) who snarls back. The dog personifies Hogarth as in his own print "Trump"; his paws rest on a artist's palette inscribed "Line of beauty". The bear's paw rests on a sheet inscribed "Epistle to Wm. Hogarth," the poem which Churchill published in response to Hogarth's sketch of Wilkes described as "John Wilkes, Esqr."
