A burly Roman senator and a small, thin, knock-kneed Englishman face each other. Over one is etched "The Roman Senator"; over the other, "The British Senator". The Roman (left) in profile to the right., wearing armour and a voluminous cloak, stands in front of a pillar with his left foot on a raised step; he holds out his hands as if in surprise at the appearance of the Englishman. The Briton stands upon a square stool, his toes turned in; he looks at the Roman through a lorgnette, with an expression of dismay; his left hand is raised in astonishment. His dishevelled hair is in a short queue and he is dressed in the fashion of the day. On the ground at his feet are cards, dice, a dice-box; another dice-box is on the stool. He has just dropped the Knave of Clubs which falls to the ground. Behind him two game-cocks are fighting. In the distance the horizon is inscribed "Surry Hills", indicating that he is M.P. for Surrey.  27 January 1777
