Seven nude men swim, in a broad river between flat grass banks, after a duck (left) which is saying, "How these hungry Whelps Strive for me". The heads are poorly characterized and only two, Fox and North, can be identified with certainty. A judge's wig on the bank (right) appears to belong to a man with a bald head who is swimming beside it, perhaps intended for Lord Loughborough, who lost the post of f'irst Commissioner of the Great Seal on the fall of the Coalition. 28 February 1784
