- Abstract:
- George III, seated on a low square stool placed atop a building inscribed "St Stephens Chapel. 1783," is holding in his left hand an empty scale and pointing to its perfect balance with his right one. Below the design is the text, "I'm above all! I yet Rule the Roast [sic]! As I please the Balance shall preponderate!" It appears to refer to the King's attempts to break the North-Fox coalition after Shelburne's resignation in February 1783
