The religious man in bed surrounded by books and against the background of an attractive library, is greeted by the winged figure of Time clutching a scythe and an hourglass. In contrast, the greedy man, his gouty leg wrapped in bandages and resting on a stool, recoils against the figure of a spear-wielding skeleton, upsetting his table

"The Prince lies in bed, 'in extremis'; Thurlow, Pitt, and Richmond stand behind a curtain (right), the first with a dagger raised to strike, Pitt clutching a dagger. On the other side of the bed Liberty with her cap and staff clasps her hands in supplication for the preservation of the Prince; behind her stand Fox, Burke, North, and (?) Sheridan in similar attitudes. In the foreground (left) Time advances with his scythe towards the Prince; he has mown down a man who falls backwards holding on his shoulder a naked African with a broken spear (? Death). The African, about to fall, clutches the head of an apothecary seated on the ground. Rays of light fall diagonally on the Prince; clouds extend over him and his would-be assassins. Resting on the clouds is a scroll inscribed: '1800 \ Glory, \ Conquest, \ Submission of \ America - Perfidy of France \ respecting the Treaty'. Above the Prince's head are his feathers and 'Ich Dien'."--British Museum online catalogue
