In an outdoor setting, Charles Fox, with a fox's head, and Lord North, both kneeling, supplicate Edmund Burke for absolution, in Fox's words, of the "sins not yett committed." Lord North, having confessed that his "sins are manifold and grievious," promises to submit to Burke's "holy injuctions & drink small beer all my life time." Burke, dressed in a monastic garb and biretta, his right hand raised in the act of benediction, points with his left one to the steep hill in front of him, on top of which stands gallows with a body hanging from it, and directs Fox and North to "go & sin no more ..." Behind Burke is another steep hill with a cross on top and a kneeling figure next to it.

In front of an archway (left) through which appears a staircase, an obese porter stands in profile to the right, lifting up both hands to show the impossibility of access to his master. He is addressing a would-be visitor, middle-aged and stout, who faces him with an insinuating smile, hat in hat, pointing with his right hand towards his companion, a slim young man (right), who stands full-face, his right hand in his breeches pocket. The young man is dressed like, and resembles, the 'Modern Fine Gentleman' in British Museum Satires No. 6342, a companion print. His right hand is in his breeches pocket, his left, holding his hat, rests on the head of his tall cane."--British Museum online catalogue
