Lord North, Charles Fox and Edmund Burke take over the "Committe [sic] Room" of the East India Company. Burke, saying, "I will direct ye," pushes and boots out the door the Directors while Fox, standing in the middle of the room, excretes on the Company's charters. The satisfied-looking North stands next to Fox, his pocket overflowing with notes for large sums of money and stock. Behind them is a long table and the vacated "President's chair." In the corner to the left stand two crates filled with coins and signed "dollars," a bag of rupees and another one containing "a lack" [i.e., lakh, or one hundred thousand]. More coins are spilled on the floor in front of them

Abstract:
"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
