Abstract:
"Justice (left) flogs Fox at the tail of an elephant, as culprits were then flogged at the cart's tail. The elephant is in profile to the right. Fox is stripped to the waist, a rope round his neck is attached to the animal's tail, his hands are on the animal's hind-quarters; he looks over his right shoulder with an expression of anguish. Justice, a blind-folded woman in pseudo-classical draperies, stands with a knotted scourge raised to strike; she says "Vengence is mine, I will repay". On the elephant's flank is engraved, 'He that exalteth himself Shall be abased'."--British Museum online catalogue
