Sir Robert Walpole stands in the middle of a large room with one hand to his head, a lion to his right and Justice with her sword raised to his left. Engraving with verse below, 1742.

Several commoners gather (the fattest is Pulteney, Walpole's opponent) behind the figure of Justice who urges Walpole forward with her sword. One man exclaims 'Now he's hit'. Behind him are two tradesmen's stalls labelled 'Dent's Snuff Shop' and 'Deards from St Dunstans'. On Walpole's right, he is welcomed by several peers and a lion holding an earl's coronet, an allegory of the King's support and offer of the earldom of Orford. He instructs Walpole to 'Follow me Sr Blew String'. The scene is set in the Court of Requests, the passage of communication between the Houses of Peers and Commons. The context is Walpole's fall from grace and fear of a possible impeachment.
