A man with his hands clasped in supplication, is seized on one side by a burly turnkey and on the other by a man wearing in a Kevenhuller hat and armed with a cudgel. A third man tries to hit the prisoner on the head with a long cudgel. A fourth man, standing near the turnkey, threatens a boy and a woman who both kneel facing the prisoner whie a little girl in front of the woman stretches her arms towards her. On the far left, a well dressed man points to the scene with his left hand, his right hand resting on his hip. To his right is an entrance to a building with a lamp in the shape of an acorn hanging above the door. On the opposite side is another building with old-fashioned casement windows with diamond panes, or possibly bars, on upper floors and modern square paned windows on the ground floor. Over the door, in lieu of a lantern, hangs a bunch of grapes. The two buildings are connected in the background by a wall with a gate with heavy grill through which two men are peeking into the courtyard. On the wall above the grill are the Royal Arms, flanked by the arms of London and Westminster

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

The Duke of Cumberland rides a horse towards the left; in the distance are buildings which are labelled 'Eton College'. From his mouth come the words, "My all is in my possession, possession, possession. My all is in my posession. Mounted behind him on the horse is a pretty, young woman playing a hurdy-gurdy. From her mouth, the words, "Virgins are like [the] fair flowers in its lustre." A large belt labelled "The girdle of affection" encircles the two riders waists. A distressed young peasant, the girl's brother, chases the horse, crying, "My dear sister. Stop 'e. Stop 'e. Stop 'e. O, I fear she's gone for aye." He carries the box for the hurdy-gurdy on his back. An allusion to the Savoyards - and Mars. Quotation from Twelfth night, I.i.1, by William Shakespeare, 1564-1616
