Mrs. Fitzherbert, a weeping penitent, kneels before a priest (left) seated in profile to the right, who holds up a birch-rod and points an accusing finger.  He says: 
<p><br><br>"You know I'am your priest, &amp; your Conscience is Mine, 
<br>And you know you have been Wicked &amp; that is a bad Sign." 
<br><br>His head is tonsured, the hair resembling a garland. He wears an embroidered cope over elaborate robes, with bare feet and sandals, and sits in an ornate chair on the back of which is a crown.  The crown and some resemblance to George III suggest that he may be intended for the King.  Mrs. Fitzherbert holds a rosary in her right hand, and puts a handkerchief to her face, looking away from the priest.  Behind her is an altar with two candles.  21 November 1794
