"A Duet, with an Accompaniment!" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on May 1, 1806. The print, also known by its extended title "A Duet, turn Fair Clora, turn ah cruel turn again," is a commentary on the political alliance between Charles James Fox and Lord Grenville, who were leading figures in the Ministry of All the Talents. In this work, Gillray employs his characteristic wit and sharp visual satire to critique the political maneuvers of the time.

The print depicts Fox and Grenville as street musicians performing a duet, with Fox playing a hurdy-gurdy and Grenville a lyre, while Britannia, personified as a fair maiden, turns away in distress. The image is rich with metaphor and allusion, using the concept of a musical performance to suggest the discordant and opportunistic nature of the political partnership. The title itself plays on the language of romantic songs, juxtaposing the idea of a lover's plea with the political context, thereby underscoring the perceived insincerity of the politicians' actions.

Gillray's work is notable for its intricate detail and layered meanings, which often require a deep understanding of the political and social context of the time to fully appreciate. "A Duet, with an Accompaniment!" is no exception, offering a complex and critical perspective on the political landscape of early 19th-century Britain. As with many of Gillray's prints, this piece is held in high regard for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance, providing insight into the public sentiment and the power of visual satire during the period.

The print remains an important example of Gillray's oeuvre and is studied for its contribution to the art of caricature and its reflection of the political climate of the era. It is preserved in various collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London, and continues to be a subject of interest for scholars of art history, political history, and satire.
