The Quarrell about Pensions Amicably Settled, 13 April 1796
Scope and Contents
By Isaac Cruikshank. Burke and the Duke of Bedford sit on opposite sides of a small round table. Fox, full-face, sits between them, his arms resting on the table, fingers interlaced, and thumbs together. He looks down oracularly, saying, "Take the Advice of a common friend - the less said about the matter the better!" Burke's back is towards Fox, he looks angrily over his left shoulder at Bedford, who watches Fox intently. Burke and Fox wear wigs and are not dressed in the latest fashion, as is Bedford, with cropped hair, swathed neckcloth projecting in front of his chin, and tight pantaloons reaching almost to his ankles. Hand-coloured etching. Description from the British Museum.
