Abstract:
Fox hides under a four-poster bed hung with curtains, his hand resting on his chin with a speech balloon above his head: "They'll do nothing at last!" A bare-breasted woman [Catherine II of Russia] wearing a nightdress, a crown on her head, and pearls at her throat, holds a dagger in her hand as she addresses Pitt who stands before her: "Which you please, young man. If your instrument entered it would make no impression that I'd care a fig for." Pitt also in a nightdress and holding a dagger, asks, "Shall we or shall we not?"

Abstract:
"Five heads surround a taper whose flame is the head in profile to the left of George III. The taper rises from the centre of a crown which rests on a tasselled cushion in the foreground. On the left is Sheridan in profile, his face disfigured by drink, puffing angrily; next is Fox facing three-quarter length to the right, with a fierce expression. Next is the Prince of Wales, alarmed and rather fierce; beside him is Mrs. Fitzherbert, wearing breeches round her shoulders, one leg terminating in a garter inscribed 'Honi Soit...' The ribbon of her night-cap is decorated with the Prince's feathers and 'Ich dien'. On the extreme right is Grey, puffing intently, his blast directed at the back of the King's head. All the others puff awry, and the light burns steadily. All the men wear night-caps and shirts open at the neck."--British Museum online catalogue
