Charles Parnell wears a tiara and sits on a throne, with many Irishmen bowing before him and placing bags of money into a container labeled “Parnell Fund.” On a table next to him are papers labeled “Remission of Rents” and “Assassination Absolution.” Sitting on a throne on the left, unattended by anyone, is Pope Leo XIII wearing the papal tiara and looking on with dismay. At his feet, on the left, is a basket of papers labeled “Indulgence” and “Absolution,” and, on the right, a container labeled “Peter’s Pence” that appears to have been broken into and emptied.
