Secret influence directing the new P-l-t, 1784

King George III sits on a throne, surrounded by questionable influences. He enquires about the state of the new government, led by William Pitt the Younger. Lord Thurlow (Chancellor) is on the left, with the body of a bird of prey. Bute crouches behind the throne in Highland dress. On the right of the King is Pitt, with the body of a serpent. The Prince of Wales warns a sleeping Britannia of danger
