Abstract:

"A scene in the House of Commons. Pitt stands by the table in back view, right arm held out, his head turned to address Fox. Fox (right) and North are seated on the front Opposition bench; Fox, wearing his hat and holding a stick, bites his fingers and turns his head away from Pitt, looking sulky and abashed. North, his forehead puckered in a frown, conceals his face behind a paper on which he is writing. The Speaker, Cornwall, stands (left) in profile to the right; below him the Clerks of the House, John Hatsell, Clerk (left), and John Ley, Clerk Assistant (right), are seated at the table."--British Museum online catalogue.
