"After the title: "--Thus they, in lowliest plight, repentant bow--Mil[ton]. The Pope sits in a Gothic chair whose back is at an angle with the picture plane: Wellington, in profile to the right, kneels at his feet, supporting the Pope's right foot, and fervently kisses his toe (as in BM Satires No. 15665). He wears civilian dress, but a plumed cocked hat lies beside him. Peel (left) stands behind, eagerly waiting his turn, his hands together as if in prayer. Each holds a rosary. The Pope, who has a red and vulturine nose, wears a tall tiara."--British Museum online catalogue

Authors of the Catholic Reform Bill, Wellington and Peel are dressed in tall conical caps and tied to the back of chair carried by Eldon. A fat bishop, probably Howley, walks behind, carrying the legs of the chair, as the head of Cumberland with gapping mouth appears behind him. A fat John Bull character looks on the scene from the left foreground. The group is met on the right by an angry Irish ragamuffin wearing a barrister's wig and waving his fist and a shillelagh, suggesting that he is O'Connell

"Lyndhurst stands beside a dressing-table (left), in shirt-sleeves, wearing his Chancellor's wig. He puts one hand into the arm-hole of a coat which a footman in livery holds out, saying, 'Your Lordship's Coat is become very threadbare for you know you turned it only last year--& it has been turned before that: so I much doubt if it will bear turning any more-- Can't you afford to buy a new one now her Ladyship earns her own Expenses?-- Doodle pays all her bills and gives her every thing she can wish for.' Lyndhurst: 'Alas! she'll get no more out of Doodle! he has quite kicked her off--She is just now gone to Cumberland to try after a service there which perhaps may enable me to keep still sitting on Wool, if I can but turn this Coat once more & look decent.' On a settee (right) are the mace, Purse of the Great Seal, and the Chancellor's gown."--British Museum online catalogue
