"Sir William Pulteney sits directed to the left on the lowest of three large brass-bound treasure-chests. He wears a powdered wig, plain black coat and breeches, and top-boots. On the left side of his coat hangs a gold key, another is in his left hand. His right elbow rests on a chest and he looks through a single glass at a large open book: 'L'Etat de les Finances . . . République'. His hat and gloves are beside him. Behind is a pilastered wall and the corner (left) of a decorated ceiling. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
