Artist: Charles Williams. Published: S. W. Fores. Pitt and Melville, realistic statues, their heads turned in profile to face each other, stand on adjacent stone slabs against a stone wall, each bestriding his predecessor in office. Their partial nudity is reminiscent of the 'Giants' who stormed Heaven, except that Pitt wears a military sash in place of vine-leaves. Pitt stands arrogantly, a sabre in his right. hand, left hand on hip; the muscles of his emaciated body are taut. Addington crouches under his feet on hands and knees. Melville, First Lord of the Admiralty, holds a barbed trident which pins down St. Vincent; his left hand is on his hip; he looks complacent. St. Vincent, in naval uniform, lies on his back, his gouty right leg swathed. Description from the British Museum.
