Abstract: A very tall thin gentleman with elongated wig and dour expression sits facing left on a block labelled "Stool of repentance" as he pulls a frog apart by its legs. Strapped to him by a belt around the waist is an old long-haired and bearded man, with bows on his shoes and holding a purse marked "empty". On the right, a sailor stands facing the viewer and holding in his hand a club, as he points towards the two men and smiles. Next to him on the ground lies a bag marked "1000 dollars." Probably a reference to the Bourbon Family Compact wherein Spain allied herself with France to regain Gibraltar
