Abstract:
"Well-known men ride (left to right) horses with the heads of old women which they scourge mercilessly. There is a background of craggy mountains silhouetted against flames in which demons fly. The central and most prominent figure is Fox, before him rides Pitt, and on the extreme right is the Duke of Bedford wearing a star. In the foreground (left) is George Hanger with his club, whose mount has fallen and looks round at him despairingly. Behind him is the Duke of Queensberry wearing a star; on the extreme left is the stiff Lord Moira."--British Museum online catalogue
