Her other hand points down to a portrait of Lord Chesterfield on the floor which has been torn from its frame on the wall and in this hand she holds a paper lettered “and you too 20000£”. Behind her is a statue of Queen Anne.

P(itt) Tr(easurer) of I(relan)d” and “Letter to W(ilia)m P(itt) by T. H-y Esq. On his forehead is written “HANOVER T(urnip)S”."--British Museum online catalogue
