On the left, Charles Fox, dressed as an Oriental prince, lies on the ground having fallen off an elephant who has the face of Lord North; Fox's dice and dice box are scattered on the pavement. In the speech bubble above his head: "Perdition, take thee for the chanse is thing." To his right, William Pitt sits astride the elephant who stands at the entrance to the East India House, his face turned toward the viewer. Pitt offers in his left hand a "New India Bill" and holds three others under his arm and in his pocket: "Stamp [...] act", "Sup ... lies", and "Military Act ...". The building on the left has been extended to as far as Pitt's back
