Shelburne, dressed as a monk but wearing a wig, stands in profile to the left, his mouth open as if making a speech, one hand on his heart; he has an alert, propitiatory smile. In his left hand is a rolled document, 'The Speech'. Beneath his feet is etched (as is the publication line) "He wou'd &amp; he wou'd not &amp;c." In the distance is the sea with the sun, inscribed "Poor Old England", sinking below the horizon.  18 December 1782
