Amherst stands in profile to the left, he is in uniform and wears the ribbon of the Bath. He smiles, his left hand resting on his sword.
From a series of small, whole length caricature portraits of prominent members of the Whig Coalition and opponents of the American War. The inspiration was apparently the ministerial changes of March 1782.
