A Cardinal-Legate with attendant clergy gives absolution to Lyndhurst, Peel, and Wellington who kneel before a throne on a dais, their hands in prayer. Lyndhurst has the Purse of the Great Seal under his knees and the mace on the floor beside him. Attendant clergy include two obese monks or friars, one of whom holds a candle, the other a grotesque image of the Virgin. Also in attendance is a Jesuit who holds a triple cross and claps a rosary and a thin, sly-looking priest who also holds a candle

"The Duchess of St. Albans, immensely fat, florid, and bejewelled, and a stout elderly naval officer wearing loose wide trousers, and apparently doing hornpipe steps, his hands on his hips, dance side by side with rollicking abandon. The others of the set: one man and two ladies on the left and one lady and two men on the right dance rigidly erect, and watch the central pair with hauteur; the men are dandies, the women slim and fashionable. The duchess has a swirling paradise-plume in her towering loops of hair, above tossing ringlets."--British Museum online catalogue

Title etched below image., Print signed using William Heath's device: A man with an umbrella., British Museum curator's note: The naval officer is (unconvincingly) identified by E. Hawkins as Sir George Warrender (1782-1849), a Huskissonite M.P. who was never in the navy; he was a Lord of the Admiralty 1812-22; he appears, in back view, in a "Sketch of a Ball at Almack's, 1815" (Gronow, 'Reminiscences', 1892, ii, frontispiece). Perhaps Lord Amelius Beauclerk (1771-1806), her husband's uncle. Cf. 'Croker Papers', 1884, ii. 200., and Watermark: 1827.
