The Duke of Norfolk (right) stands defiantly before the King, one foot on the fringed carpet on which the ornate royal chair is placed. He turns his head in profile to the left, holding out at arm's length his Earl Marshal's baton, inscribed 'Hereditary'. He has thrown to the ground sealed patents inscribed 'Cus Rotu Westri' and 'Coll of West York Mil[itia]'. The King, much alarmed, throws up his arms and one leg; his foot-stool is overturned. Pitt takes cover behind his chair, kneeling on one knee and looking round the back of the chair to say:
