A portrait of radical politician and writer John Wilkes (1725-1797) who, after returning from exile in France, was elected MP for Middlesex in 1769. However, as parliament considered him an outlaw at the time he was expelled from the House of Commons, he was then re-elected and the expelled again and Henry Luttrell was given the seat. Supporters of his campaign for re-election were John Wheble, editor of the Middlesex Journal and the Society of Gentlemen Supporters of the Bill of Rights, who signed a petition calling George III to allow Wilkes to stand for the seat as barring him was an invasion of the rights of electors to choose their elective. Wilkes stands, his chin resting on a stick, on the table beside him is a copy of 'The Middlesex Journal' and on the wall hangs 'The Middlesex Petition', based on an earlier mezzotint droll of a man in a similar stance.
