The triumph of virtue .

Design in an oval. Pitt, with an air of extreme youth and innocence, stands on a rectangular pedestal, which rests on the bodies of North and Fox. He puts his foot on a serpent, with the head of Burke, which coils round the pedestal. He holds a post or beam, inscribed 'Pillar of the Public', on which is the cap of Liberty. An irradiated wreath is suspended over his head. He looks down at Fox (right) who looks round over his left shoulder, his 'India Bill' in his hand. North lies prone, his head thrown back. Cf.
