Summary
Paine (head and shoulders only visible) dangles on a noose from a lamp-bracket, the post of which is inscribed 'Rights of This Man'. The head of Orléans with the horns of a devil looks down at Paine from behind the post, which he clutches with his talons. From the lamp dangles an escutcheon, on which are pairs of stays and a chevron, with the motto 'Common Sense'.
