Abstract: William Pitt on the left and Charles Fox on the right play battledore and shuttlecock with the "India House" which is shown high in the air. A small figure of the King clings to the house's side. Pitt's battledore is inscribed, "royal confidence," Fox's, "majority." In the background, the "Mount of power" rises above flat landscape. On its summit stands the "Temple of fame," to which leads the "road of true patriotism, now untrode." A devil standing near the mount watches the game
