Abstract: In a room decorated with a marble pilaster with Ionic capital, a corpulent gentleman holding a stick stands to the left of a table pointing gleefully to the two pineapples and three bottles -- labeled "Burgt", "Claret", and Chamne." -- that are set upon it. In his pocket is a rolled piece of paper with the words "An humble address to the K[ing]". On the wall behind him (right) in an ornate frame is a portrait of the Earl of Bute. This satire was issued at time of public excitement around the presentation of addresses to the King, and on the other hand, "Petitionos and Remonstrances". The portrait of the Earl of Bute indicates his alleged secret influence. See British Museum catalogue
