- Abstract:
- "The artist (left), a partly draped figure with small horns among his loosely curling hair, points with both hands to a picture on an easel (right), turning his head towards the spectator. In front of him (left) is a table on which are his painting-materials: a sheaf of brushes in a pot, palette, charcoal-holder. On a large canvas a man with the head of a wolf stands wearing a sheepskin with the head on his head and shoulders. In his right hand is a firebrand, the left supports the long staff of a flag inscribed 'Watch Word Peace'. Above it hovers a dove with an olive branch. At his feet stands a snarling wolf, also in sheep's clothing. A mastiff standing beside the artist barks at the (painted) wolf. Against the easel rests a large volume: 'Outlines \ of the \ Opposition \ in 1795 \ collected from the Works \ of the most capital Jacobin Artists \ " They speak Peace to their \ Neighbours, but Mischief is in their hearts, they devise deceiful \ Things against them that are quiet \ in the Land " Psalms'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

- Abstract:
- "A view of the left side of the stage, including part of a stage box on the extreme left. From this leans a figure of Folly wearing a fool's cap with ass's ears, clapping his hands. Within the shadow of the box is the head of a staring owl (cf. British Museum Satires No. 5363). A frieze of dancing dogs (cf. British Museum Satires No. 16715) decorates the lower part of the box; above is a grinning mask flanked by dogs' heads. The capital of the Corinthian pilaster that flanks the stage is formed of dogs' heads. At its foot is a figure of Thalia covering her face with her hands. At the base of her pedestal is an open book: 'The Caravan or the Driver and his Dog a Farce.' This lies on and obscures another: 'The Critic or Tragedy rehearsed'. The front of the stage is filled with a large pool; in this a dog swims, his collar inscribed 'Carlo'; he holds the head of Sheridan above the water by his hair, saying: "------methinks it were an easy Leap" To dive into the bottom of the Deep" And pluck up drowned honour by ye Locks." ['1 Henry IV', I. iii.] Water gushes into the pool from left and right; on the righ from a mound of stone slabs on which is poised a wheeled dog-kennel. By the roof of the kennel are the heads of two enormous and camel-like dogs, muzzled (or bridled), and peering at Carlo; one partly obscures a notice-board on a post in the pool: 'Humane Socie[ty for] recovering drowning persons] It is recommended That Dog Kennels [should be] stationed at all Ho[uses of] public Entertainment for the Benefit of drowning persons.' The scenery is a water-side castle."--British Museum online catalogue
