By John Cawse. A scene in the House of Commons, the two front benches in close proximity. Fox (right) sits stolidly on one, clutching a bulky document inscribed 'Perseverance'. He looks sternly at Pitt, who stands opposite him, his hair rising in terror; he drops a document, 'Union', and exclaims 'Angels and Ministers of Grace defend us!!' Behind Pitt are three persons, only one, Dundas in tartan, being characterized; they are dismayed. Burdett and Sheridan sit behind Fox, the former pleased, the latter less so, an indication of Sheridan's supposed jealousy of Fox. In the background the astonished Speaker and other members are freely indicated. Description from the British Museum.
