Abstract:
Grey stands in the center pulling back a curtain on the large painting (right) addressing the three men (probably Peel, Cumberland, and Wellington) who look on in amazement. Grey says, "Gentlemen this is a fine color'd picture representing Futurity. The idea of which was concieved [sic] by an injured people and painted by a new and promising artist. Reform." Reading from the left Peel looks at himself in the painting seated in a chair at a loom, "Why if there a'nt me at a spinning Jenny." Cumberland, hat flying off, looking at himself depicted in the painting on his backside, "And me dying on a dunghill." And Wellington closest to the painting that depicts him as a wounded soldier holding a broom and begging with his cap in hand, observes "And me begging." In the painting is a tower with the British and French flags the former with the year 1814, referencing the Wellington's successful campaign to end the Peninsular War
