A musical image showing Peel sitting on a music-stool at an upright piano, smiling over his shoulder at Wellington, who plays the violin (as he had in fact done as a young man), in profile to the left, his music on a tall stand. The Duke wears the unusual dress for him of frock-coat with knee-breeches. Goulburn (Chancellor of the Exchequer) turns over Peel's music.
