Abstract:
The King of France is seated on his throne in front of the tent surmounted by a large fleur-de-lis. His feet rest on the head of the British Lion whom he is pushing to the ground. Two guards with pikes stand on either side of him. He is pointing with his scepter to two kneeling men in peers' coronets who have hooks in their noses and are led on a string by another man, probably Lord Sandwich, British negotiator at Aix-la-Chapelle. The two peers are probably the Earl of Sussex and Baron Cathcart, offered as hostages at the time of signing the Treaty. They carry scrolls and a fishnet with three fishes in it, probably alluding to the fisheries of Cape Breton. The scrolls convey promises to wear French cambric, as well as surrender of newly discovered coal mines. A fortress with breached walls is visible in the background. On the right, sits Britannia weeping. Behind her, three men, probably English merchants, express their disappointment with the terms of the Treaty. A scroll in the upper right corner, above a ship on turbulent seas, lists the concessions made by English negotiators
