Description:

Representation of: Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive of Plassey. Lord Clive is confronted by the ghost of Omichund (Amir Chand) a Sikh merchant and intriguer who was tricked by British, but probably only after tricking them in his turn. It illustrates a dialogue in verse (a parody of Hamlet) between 'Nabob' (Clive) and Omichund. Omichund, wearing a feathered turban, appears from clouds addressing Clive with a minatory gesture. Clive, who is supported on each side by a military officer, starts back in horror. Omichund stands under a high palm-tree, from whose branches a man, stripped to the waist, is hanging by the wrists. A note explains that he is "the man under Breeches punishment". The scene is a walled enclosure or compound, on the right. behind Clive part of a high tent is visible.
