This work is emblematic of Long's interest in historical and biblical themes, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey narrative through visual art. The painting derives its title from the ancient practice of "Peter's Pence," a financial contribution made to the Papacy by members of the Catholic Church. This tradition, which has its origins in the early centuries of Christianity, was an annual levy of one penny from each household, signifying a symbolic allegiance to the Pope.

In "Peters Pence," Long captures a moment steeped in historical and religious significance. The painting meticulously depicts the collection of the levy, focusing on the interaction between the collectors and the contributors. Long's work is characterized by its historical accuracy, from the costumes of the figures to the architectural details, reflecting his extensive research and dedication to authenticity. The composition is carefully constructed, guiding the viewer's eye across the scene and highlighting the expressions and emotions of the individuals involved.
