Lord Westmorland shown in profile flies to the left, clutching a closed green umbrella. Spiky, umbrella-like wings are strapped to his shoulders. From between his legs a large (gold and onyx) seal, labeled Privy Seal, falls to the ground. His profile and dress (top-hat, leather breeches, and top-boots) are copied from Dighton's portrait (BM Satires 14265). At the base of the design and backed by trees are the heads and shoulders of two men and a woman gazing up. One man wearing a top hat scowls, holding his nose with a gloved hand and says "What is that?"; another man, says "There he goes!" An amused woman exclaims: "Ha! Ha! Oh! My!"
