Pitt and Dundas as king and queen sit side by side on an ornate settee, 'The Throne'. Pitt (right), grotesquely thin, wears a large crown and holds a sceptre erect; his left hand is on his hip, his knees are widely extended, and his right foot rests on a foot-stool. He turns his head in profile to smile at Dundas, who gazes back at him, his left arm over Pitt's shoulder. The bulky Dundas takes up the greater part of the seat, but his knees are squeezed to the left to make room for Pitt's arrogantly extended right knee. He wears a Scots cap, a legal wig, and a tartan dress, inflated at the hips, but defining his knees and showing bare legs with tartan socks. Below the title: 'Sacred Characters'. Cf. BMSat 8480, &amp;c.  12 September 1797
