- Abstract
-
In a possible burlesque of West's Death of Wolfe, a "wounded" Fox lies supported by his followers. He is held in the arms of Admiral Keppel, as Burke in monk's habit offers him a glass, and Mary (Perdita) Robinson applies smelling salts. North is to the right, swooning with grief and supported by Portland, while Sheridan kneels to the right in front of John Cavendish. Behind Fox at the far left the Prince of Wales kneels to kiss Perdita's unoccupied hand. A satire on the defeat of Fox's India Bill.
