A satire on the presentation of Fox and his wife at one of Napoleon's monthly levees in 1802.
Print shows Napoleon, enthroned, receiving the obeisance of Fox and his party. The centre figure is the enormous Mrs. Fox, who curtsies, fan in hand; her coarse features and patched face indicate Gillray's view of her antecedents. On her right and next Bonaparte, O'Connor bends forward, chapeau-bras; from his pocket projects a pamphlet: 'Trial of O'Conner at Maid[stone]'. Opposite Bonaparte, and on his wife's left, Fox much caricatured, and with gouty swollen legs, makes a low bow. From his pocket issues a document: 'Original Jacobin Manuscripts'. Behind him is Erskine and Lord and Lady Holland. In the foreground and on Fox's left, Robert Adair grovels on the floor, his head between his arms in a gesture of abject homage. From his coat pockets project 'Revolutionary Odes, by Citizen Bow-ba-dara' and 'Intelligence for the Morning Chronicle.' Napoleon sits on a canopied throne whose arms terminate in globes covered with maps of the world. On one globe the Consul rests his right hand, clutching it with long predatory fingers; the left hand is extended towards Fox. On each side of the throne Mamelukes stand at attention, holding sabres, and with pistols in their belts.
