Prime Minister Henry Addington, scarcely caricatured, is the principal figure. He stands in profile to the right, right hand extended; in his left is the 'Treaty of Peace.' On the front bench (left) next to Addington's seat, marked by his hat, sits Hawkesbury, nervous and deprecating, legs crossed, crouching forward, holding his chin. Next to him is a very fat man with gouty legs, his head concealed behind Addington, identified as Dickinson. Just behind are Nicholls, clutching his cane, and Tierney (not caricatured), both gazing intently at Addington's back. Behind Nicholls is Wilberforce, much caricatured. A fat, youngish man, standing full face (right), resembles Lord Temple. Of the other heads gazing fixedly at Addington only Tyrwhitt Jones can be identified. The Speaker, Abbot, is dwarfishly too small for the Chair; in front of him sits the Clerk, with a melancholy expression, holding a pen, his hands folded. visible image measures approximately: 10 1/8" W x 14" H frame measures approximately: 15 3/8" W x 19 1/2" H S1.
