Lying on his stomach, a giant Lord North appraises the ship Britannia which is heeling over by the shore, as he encourages the members of his cabinet to pillage it. Diminutive figures of Fox, Portland, possibly Stormont, and Burke, stand on his back holding large sacks of loot. To the right on the ground stands "Sir" Jeffery Dunstan, the popular "Mayor of Garratt," and used wig seller, saying, "Old Whigs and Sham Whigs."

Two ladders placed against a tall brick wall signed, "Treasury," reach an open window at the top. In it stands a man, perhaps the Duke of Portland, with a yoke on his shoulders and bunches of grapes hanging from each end. At the top of the ladders are, from left, Fox and North, both reaching for the grapes while at the same time emptying their bowels. Their excrement falls into the mouths of those climbing immediately after them; on Fox's ladder it is Sheridan. This process is repeated down to the last climbers. Each ladder is supported by a group of men gaping toward its top with their mouths open in expectation of the spoils

In an outdoor setting, North and Fox sit at a table placed under a vine trellis and in front of a small temple or mausoleum, signed, "Treasury" with the bust of the Duke of Portland above it. North is about to place in Fox's hand one of the bags of money lying on the table, saying, "Now Reynard the Whole Vineyard is our own. Therefore let us be busy," to which Fox answers, "That is my sole aim, but what will the People say?"

Thomas Powys, sleeping in a chair on the left, and Charles Marsham, with a tankard, two of the country gentlemen urging the union between Fox and Pitt, preside over a maypole dance in front of the "St. Albans" tavern, their meeting place. The maypole is decorated with a sleeping head of George III. Dancers include members of the Coalition cabinet, pictured with devil's horns: Charles Fox, with a fox's body, Burke, dressed as a Jesuit, and the Duke of Portland, and members of the preceding cabinet, pictured with haloes: Lord Thurlow, in a judge's robe, a smiling Lord Shelburne, and the Duke of Richmond. They are watched on the left by the "nurse North," with horns, holding baby Pitt, with a halo, and on the right, by the Prince of Wales, dancing to his own tune he is playing on a pipe and a drum
