The Closet — John Williams|Anonymous, British, 18th century

Six scenes that comment on the American Revolution appear here in different compartments. The imagery suggests that tyranny, military failures and atrocities have resulted from the influence on George III of his ministers John Stuart, the Earl of Bute, Lord Mansfield and Lord Germain.
