His mitre is poised over his right temple; the right half of his person (the spectator's left) wears a lawn sleeve and black gown, but in his right hand is an uplifted sword.

Labels issue from his mouth to left and right: 'A sett of infamous Blood-thirsty Rascaly Sans Culottes, given to D-D Drunkenness, Gaming & all kinds of Debauchery' (and) 'I will extirpate thee from the face of the Earth!
