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."
