Lord Shelburne lying at full length, asleep, supported on two parallel rows of sharp pinnacles, representing the articles of the peace treaty. Dunning (left), now Lord Ashburton, in counsellor's wig and gown, crouches behind his head, in profile to the right, holding a smelling-bottle to his nose, and saying, "take comfort my Lord, for you I will be allways Dunning". On Shelburne's prostrate body stands Fox, with his own face, but the body of a fox; he urinates against Shelburne's face and tears at him with his fore-paws, saying "If he opens his mouth I will be down his Throat". North's head (right), suspended in space, is saying "the North fog Rot Him". On the nearer row of sharp pinnacles, on the points of which Shelburne is so painfully lying, is inscribed (left to right), "It shall be Recomend [sic] to Congress to Cut the Loyalists . . . 16 Articl, 14 Artl, 10 Artle, 6 Artle, 11 Artle, 7 Artle, 4 Artle". There is a background of minute zigzag lines or shading. 4 March 1783
