"A bearded Jew (left) points out to Fox and North the high price of stocks; he holds out to North (right) a paper inscribed '3 Per Cents Consol done at 75 for ye next opening'. North holds out his hands in dismay. Fox stands between and behind them, looking gloomily at North. The Jew stands behind a counter on which hangs a paper, 'India Stock 162 Bank Stock 241 India Bonds 50 [ ? or 59] Prem. Navy & Victualg Bills Per Cent Discount Exchequer Bills Prem Per Cent Scrip'. At North's feet lies a paper headed 'Mr Sheridans Speech upon Mr Pitts Plan of Finance'. The background is the wall of a room with arched recesses or alcoves."--British Museum online catalogue
