A color etching caricature showing a hunched large mouse riding a donkey along a dirt path. The figure wears a blue coat and light trousers. To the left, a wooden gallows structure stands on the grass. Words on the gallows read "Let desert mount." The bottom caption reads: "AHITHOPHEL in the Dumps. And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his Ass, and arose and went & hanged himself. &c."
