Pitt (right), seated on a sack in profile to the left, plays the fiddle while Dundas in a kilt, holding a paper inscribed 'Loans', dances a Highland fling. Pitt has a gouty leg and an anxious expression ; Dundas looks down complacently. Behind are rows of amused Directors ranged in front of the recently completed pediment of the East India House in Leadenhall Street. On one of the columns is a placard: 'Death of Tippoo'. Two figures in the pediment are freely sketched: a man making a murderous attack on a prostrate woman: in the actual pediment the central figure was a man standing protectively above a woman with an infant (see Malton's aquatint).  9 February 1800
