Two plates from a set of twelve 'French Habits.' [Left] Fox stands full-face, hands on hips, legs astride, looking arrogantly to the right. He wears a looped hat with large ostrich feathers, long loose coat with a lace collar and long revers over a tunic with a sash that defines his vast paunch. Tunic and coat have embroidered borders.

He straddles across them, his feet planted on lion and unicorn [Right] Lansdowne, Norfolk, and Grafton stand together wearing the dress of the Conseil des Anciens: a violet robe and cap, with a scarlet sash, over which hangs a white cloak in classical folds, the border of robe and cloak being embroidered in red. Lansdowne (centre) holds a book, the fingers of his right hand are raised, and he smiles slyly. Norfolk (left) and Grafton (right) listen to him with conspiratorial intentness.
