Abstract: A satyr seated in front of an easel is painting Fox's head in a cocked hat with a French cockade. He is using for his model a bust of Fox from which another satyr removes a smiling mask signed "Patriotism," revealing the word "Faction" on the forehead. A large portfolio signed "Outlines of the Opposition collected from the designs of the most capital Jacobin artists," is propped against four large volumes signed "Parliamentary Speeches" lying on the ground next to the easel
