Inside a church, Burke and Sheridan, in mourning clothes, cry next to the tomb on which rest the bodies of Lord North and Charles Fox, with a fox's head. Fox's eye is open and alert, his tongue hanging from the mouth. Above their heads, a crossbeam resting on two columns and inscribed, "The true reward [of] such virtues," forms a gallows with two nooses hanging from it. In the background are the tombs of Jonathan Wilde, a corrupted thieftaker, and Jemmy Twitcher, a character in The beggar's opera, and nicknames of, respectively, Sir Robert Walpole and the Earl of Sandwich; and of Walter Tyler, leader of the peasant uprising in 1381

William Pitt, in a dramatic pose, reaches up with his right hand for a sword presented to him by three cherubs encouraging him to defend King and country. With his other hand he indicates a volume inscribed, "Locke on the human understanding" on the table behind him. Above the table hangs a portrait of Lord Chatham. Members and supporters of the North-Fox coalition look on through an open window, gathered under a flag labeled "The Harmonic Society."
