Summary:
A short and obese Demosthenes (Charles Fox) with a worried expression on his face, appears to be delivering a pledge. He stands between tall and thin figures of Themistocles (Admiral Hood) on the left and Judas Iscariot (Sir Cecil Wray) on the right, who watch him with a condescending smile.
