A stork with the head of Shelburne is shown with its beak buried in the long neck of a glass jar labeled "The Treasury Jar". He smiles triumphantly as he picks up the gold guineas at the bottom; around his neck is the Garter ribbon. To his left is a fox with the bushy eyebrows, bulbous nose, and hairy chin of Charles Fox; he stands with his paws on the jar and a melancholy expression at the inaccessible treasure

"A fox with the head of Fox sits in profile to the right, one paw on the forehead of a life-like bust of the Prince of Wales, which he has carved; his mallet and chisels lie on the ground. He says: "What a goodly figure this makes! what a Pity that it should want Brains. Esops Fab." Two other pieces of sculpture stand on pedestals: (left) a whole length statue of a woman, kneeling on one knee in profile to the left, partly draped, having a certain resemblance to Mrs. Fitzherbert; a head (right) wearing a laurel wreath in profile to the left, looking up at Fox and the Prince; it has the long nose of Hanger, but is perhaps intended for Aesop."--British Museum online catalogue

A fox with the face of Charles Fox runs away from a pack of hunting dogs, foremost of which is Pitt, with the key to the Treasury hanging from his collar, with Thurlow, in a Chancellor's wig. They are followed by the dogs representing the Duke of Richmond, Henry Dundas, and Lord Nugent. Behind them, Lord Temple, in a jockey's outfit, rides on an ass with the King's face. Above, a smiling sun with Lord Shelburne's face, casts rays at the hunting party, while the upset-looking Boreas (Lord North) blasts cold air at Pitt's head to impede his progress
