Lettered with title "The Conversion" with publication line "Pub. by McCleary, 39 Nassau St., Dublin" inscribed within image. The scene is the interior of a Roman Catholic church. A gentleman kneels in front of Archbishop John Thomas Troy, (who holds a crozier in one hand and a document entitled ‘Recantation’ with the other) reaches forward and touches the man on his forehead in blessing. The man is elegantly dressed, wearing a frock coat of blue material, his yellow gloves rest on top of his top hat beside him. He reads from a document entitled "Recantation" and says: "I acknowledge my former conduct has been in error; I highly admire and approve of his Majesties magnanimous intentions! I shall ever consider the present moment the happiness of my life as it enables me thus publickly [sic, publicly] to retract my former opinions, which I hope will have the happy effect of reconciling me to all parties..--". He continues: "Among the Saints, that fill thy house My offering shall be paid; There shall my zeal perform the vows My soul in anguish made". Archbishop Troy says: “My Blessing on thy hallow’d head I give with love & joy, And for the prayers be daily read, Within the walls of TROY”. On the altar behind Archbishop Troy is a small piece of paper that reads “Prayers one requests for a certain for a certain pious intention”. Also present is a large lit candle, a large volume of a book and an oval snuff box of gold (similar to those presented when one was made a freeman of a city) on which is inscribed ‘Snuff’. In the right foreground, a priest seen from behind, (wearing a black cassock with a red cross on the back, holding a manipule over his left forearm) ringing a bell; beside him is a holy water font, decorated with the carving of a small cherub on the front. The word “Holy Water” is inscribed on the rim of the font. In the left background kneels Daniel O'Connell, holding a lit candle. He says: “Amen, Amen, now let’s rejoice, our loudest anthems sing, And let us praise with heavenly voice, Our pious glorious King”. Above him in a balcony, a woman has her hands joined in prayer and both she and the four gentleman seated near her in the balcony have their eyes closed. Written beside them is: “the Prayers of the Congregation are requested for a for a certain Pious Intention”. Observing the scene from above is George IV (with the body of the Holy Spirit), wearing a crown with rays of light emanating from him. He smiles benignly.
