Justice, seated on clouds, holds the beam of a pair of scales, bowls inscribed 'Trifler' (left) and 'Microcosm' (right). In the latter sit George III and three Etonians who are alarmed at being outweighed by three (younger) Westminster boys. The King clutches a money-bag inscribed 'Mon 50 G.' The Queen, seated on the ground in the foreground (right), pulls a rope, attempting to drag down the King's scale. The Westminster boys wear mortar-board caps and gowns, the Etonians wear gowns but are bareheaded. Behind the King (right) is Windsor Castle, behind the other scale are the two towers of Westminster Abbey, while on the ground below are large books.  c.1789
