Charles Fox, dressed as Cromwell, paints the execution of Charles I, using royal crown and sceptre as artist's tools. Above the canvas hangs a painting showing a fox, with the Liberty cap on a stick, presenting a male figure of America with a sheet of paper inscribed, "Independence." Behind Fox stands the angry female figure of Justice, her blindfold removed, a sword inscribed, "justice," in her right hand. In the left hand she holds a pair of scales of which the one filled with "loyalty" outweighs the one holding a fox. On the floor lies an open volume entitled, "Patriotism by C. Cromwell," propped on the hilt of a sword labeled, "Commonwealth."
