From a niche inscribed 'Ecce Homo' a crucifix has been torn, leaving only a crown of thorns and a skull and cross-bones. In the corresponding niche is a headless figure of 'Santè Marie', clasping a headless infant, burlesqued (in Gillray's manner when dealing with emblems of 'Popery', cf. BMSat 6026). On the left the 'Member of the high-court' walks past with folded arms, looking sideways with a sinister glare at the outrage.
