Print shows Thurlow (left), seated in an armchair, receives the homage of a lawyer in a wig and gown who kneels before him. He wears a royal crown on his Chancellor's wig and holds a sceptre. His hands are the paws of a bear, one of which the kneeling man takes. They look suspiciously at each other. Behind Thurlow is a draped curtain. On the wall is a picture inscribed 'Blood', representing Thurlow running off with the crown. Cf. George.
