"Thurlow, in his Chancellor's wig and gown, wades waist-deep in the sea, advancing towards the spectator. On his shoulders sits Hastings, in oriental dress, holding in each arm a large money-bag inscribed '£4.000.000'. Thurlow scowls; Hastings has a serene and contented expression. In the water (a sea of blood) are the mutilated corpses of Indians: three heads tied together by the hair float in the water; a man floats with a rope round his neck; there are also a scourge and birch-rod."--British Museum online catalogue

"Half length portraits of Dr. Willis and Sheridan in close proximity, repeated twice, the doctor being on the extreme left and right, the two Sheridans in the middle. One couple (left) is inscribed 'Sunday', the other (right) 'Saturday'. The doctor in both cases answers a question in a label which projects into the design from an unseen inquirer: 'Doctor, how is your Patient to Day'. On the left he answers with a contented expression: "Better thank God"; his neighbour angrily shouts "Damnation". On the right he has an expression of melancholy anxiety, the head of his cane held to his lip; he answers: "Rather worse - Sir - ". Sheridan, with a satisfied and cunning smile, says, "Ha - ha - rare news"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Hastings (right) shrinks in terror at the apparition of Chait Singh (left) who emerges from clouds, a rope round his neck, his left hand raised threateningly. His turban is inscribed 'Cheyt Sing.' They stand on opposite sides of a rectangular table covered with a fringed cloth, behind which sits a lady reading a book which lies on the table: 'The State of India'. Her dress and large feathered hat are heavily decked with jewels. Hastings, who wears oriental dress with a jewelled turban, has overturned his chair; on its back are the initials 'W H.' Two Indian servants (right) stand behind Hastings. In the centre of the wall, behind the lady, are shelves on which are money-bags, some inscribed 'Rupees' and 'Pagod[as]', jewels, and a large turban inscribed 'Cheyt Syng.'"--British Museum online catalogue
