"Colonel Barré stands outside a gate in a high brick wall. Shelburne (right) stands, half within, half outside the gate, his left foot on the outside; he has a cynically complacent smile and is putting into Barré's left hand a paper inscribed "Pension 3000£ pr Ann". Barré, who wears a coat with military facings and half-boots, holds out his cockaded hat in his right hand as if asking for alms. Beneath the design is engraved: 'Rome's Veteran fought her rebel Foes, And thrice her Empire saved, Yet thro' her Streets bow'd down with Woes, An humble pittance craved. Our Soldier fought a better Fight, Political Contention, And grateful Ministers requite, His service with a Pension.'"--British Museum online catalogue
