Pitt sits on a draped stool inscribed 'Treasury Bench', between two draped tables, one (left) covered with bags of 'Gold'. He sleeps, his head resting on one of the bags, which is crooked in his left arm. In his right hand is a 'Challenge', his long spear of 'Perseverance' leans against his left arm and leg. On the ground is his shield of 'Confidence'. Under his foot is a torn 'Gazette Extraordinary'. Beside him (right) is a keg of 'British Spirits from Chatham', whose contents are gushing to the floor; across it lies a sword. On the other table, slightly behind Pitt, is a decanter of 'Bitters' whose stopper is the head of Fox. Beside it are two balls and a large pill-box inscribed 'Southwark Bolus's' on which rests a pistol. Rays descend on Pitt's head from the word 'Peerage'.  June 1798
