Fox seated astride an elephant which is being led through Leadenhall Street towards the India Office, one door of which appears on the left. He is dressed as an oriental prince, wearing a jewelled turban; ms elbows are akimbo and he looks down with a triumphant smile. At his side is a flag on which "The Man of the People" has been erased and "BAΣIVEVS BAΣIΛEΩN" (king of kings) substituted.  The elephant has the face of North, with an expression of pained anxiety, from his mouth protrudes a small snake-like trunk. Burke (right), dressed as an oriental, leads the elephant by a rope; his head is turned in profile to the right and he is blowing a trump to which is attached a fringed banner on which is a map of India inscribed "C F" [Charles Fox]; it shows "Bengal", the "Bay of Bengal", the "Ganges"; extreme north "Delhi" and in the extreme south "Tanjeour" and "F[ort] S. George."
<p><br>In the background the houses of the street recede in perspective; on a chimney on a roof (left) a raven bends ominously towards Fox, beneath it is etched, "The night Crow cried foreboding luckless Time. Shakespeare." 5 December 1783
