"A whole length satirical portrait of a slim and foppish young man, in three positions. He stands (left) in profile to the left, his right hand resting on the head of a high cane and holding a large three-cornered hat. In the centre he stands in back view, his hat under his left arm, his cane in his right hand. On the right he stands full-face, in a rather swaggering pose, cane in his right hand, hat in his left. The three attitudes show the fashion of the day. Hair loose and full over the forehead, a horizontal side curl below each ear, and a tightly-bound pigtail queue. A fitting coat double-breasted at the chest, cut away to show the lower part of a waistcoat ending at the waist; its special feature is an elongated and narrow lapel projecting beyond the shoulders. A ruffled shirt, closely fitting breeches, and low-heeled shoes. In the foreground buildings are indicated."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

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
