- In a possible burlesque of West's Death of Wolfe, a "wounded" Fox lies supported by his followers. He is held in the arms of Admiral Keppel, as Burke in monk's habit offers him a glass, and Mary (Perdita) Robinson applies smelling salts. North is to the right, swooning with grief and supported by Portland, while Sheridan kneels to the right in front of John Cavendish. Behind Fox at the far left the Prince of Wales kneels to kiss Perdita's unoccupied hand. A satire on the defeat of Fox's India Bill

- "Fox, as Belial, seated in a depression in the centre of a large mass resembling a balloon in process of deflation, which is inscribed Publica Fides.

Fox is a fat, almost-naked creature, with horns and talons.... An attack on the Coalition ... An illustration of the lines: 'Belial,...the fleshiest Incubus', Paradise Regained..."--British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- The figure of Time, with his scythe, hovers in the air between the kneeling figures of Pitt on the left and Fox on the right. Through two pipes inscribed, "Court favor" and "popularity," he blows bubbles that Pitt catches in his mouth. Fox, his hands raised in supplication, begs Time for the same favor. His plea is supported by the Duchess of Devonshire who stands behind him. In the background, a radiating temple on a rock behind Pitt is inscribed, "St. Jameses." Behind Fox, a lighthouse with a flare hanging from its top is signed, "House of Commons." Between the two, on the other side of a river, is a ruined ancient city, a reference to Rome
