Fox (left) and North (right), stripped to the waist, are engaged in a pugilistic encounter. Fox's torso is so hairy that it suggests the effect of tarring and feathering. They stand in profile with clenched fists, Fox's left being near North's nose; both are fat, clumsy, and muscular. 
<p><br><br>Above Fox's head is etched, 
<br><br>"Thus let me wipe dishonor from my name,
<br>And hurl thee from the earth, thou stain to goodness-"
<br><br>Above North's,
<br><br>"Perdition take thee, villain, for thy falshood!
<br>Now nothing but thy life can make atonement"  9 February 1784
