"A half length portrait of Fox, looking to the left, in his accustomed attitude when speaking: legs bent, hat in his right hand with his right arm raised as if to make a downward thrust. His hair is unkempt, his stockings ungartered, his shoes unlatched, and he holds the end of his shirt which escapes from under his waistcoat"--British Museum online catalogue

"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.".

"A wild affray round a circular gaming-table seen at close range, only the heads and shoulders of those on the nearer side of the table being visible. An angry military officer wearing a cocked hat, with an empty wallet on the table before him, leans forward aiming his pistol at a lean and elderly man whose 'chapeau bras' and long pigtail indicate that he is French. The latter covers a pile of guineas with his hand and aims a pistol at his assailant. Some of the players are falling over in their eagerness to escape. Between the combatants, and on the further side of the table, one man holds a chair above his head, about to smite the officer; a fellow-officer raises a bottle and a candle-stick to strike the Frenchman. All the persons (sixteen) are in violent action, with which their expressions correspond. Some are in flight, others about to intervene. On the table are a triple candle-stick, a dice-box and dice, a sword, a hat containing coins, and a purse."--British Museum online catalogue

A satirical representation of the fraternity shown at the Fête de la Fédération in the Champ de Mars on 14 July 1790. The central figure of Louis XVI embraces a group of five men, four of whom form two couples who are kissing and embracing. Weeping, the King says, "This is what I have long desired: my wish is at length accomplished. The nation & the King from hence foward will be but one." One of the men in his embrace responds, "Point de deux Chambres." One of another couple, in the act of picking the pocket of his friend, says, "Point de République." The other couple weeps, "I'll furnish tears to drown the King" while his friend adds "And I the Dauphin and the Queen." On the right a man wearing spectacles hugs a pillar, saying, "Vive le Roi. Vive la Nation Vive liberté."
