- 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
