- Abstract
-
"Britannia, in profile to the right, kneels on the ground, bending forward with an expression of angry distress. She supports herself on her spear, the upper part of which rests against her right shoulder. Her shield, broken, lies on the ground, her knee resting on it. Behind her (left) are the two 'State Quacks', Fox and North, Fox, with a fox's head, sitting on the ground, lifts Britannia's petticoats in both hands. North, very stout and fat, stands (left) in profile to the right, holding a large syringe. A mountainous landscape, with clouds, forms the background."--British Museum online catalogue
