- Abstract:
- "The Prince of Wales, Mrs. Fitzherbert (three quarter length figures), and Fox are seated at a rectangular table playing cards. Fox, who is full face, sits behind the table between the Prince (left) and his partner (right). He has taken three tricks, and holds one card above his head, about to play it, looking fixedly at Mrs. Fitzherbert. His other hand is under the table. His opponents hold two cards, and have taken no tricks. The profiles of the Prince and his partner are blank, except for the eyelashes of the concealed eye of each. Fox's features, especially his eyes, are marked and swarthy. Above his head, and between two pilasters which decorate the wall, is a picture of a fox running off with a goose, while a bystander lashes at him with a whip; in the background is a windmill."--British Museum online catalogue and The picture of a fox running off with a goose, while a bystander lashes at him with a whip amplifies the subject; the title is a reference to the song "Black Jack.".

- Abstract:
- "Five heads surround a taper whose flame is the head in profile to the left of George III. The taper rises from the centre of a crown which rests on a tasselled cushion in the foreground. On the left is Sheridan in profile, his face disfigured by drink, puffing angrily; next is Fox facing three-quarter length to the right, with a fierce expression. Next is the Prince of Wales, alarmed and rather fierce; beside him is Mrs. Fitzherbert, wearing breeches round her shoulders, one leg terminating in a garter inscribed 'Honi Soit...' The ribbon of her night-cap is decorated with the Prince's feathers and 'Ich dien'. On the extreme right is Grey, puffing intently, his blast directed at the back of the King's head. All the others puff awry, and the light burns steadily. All the men wear night-caps and shirts open at the neck."--British Museum online catalogue
