"Lord Malmesbury drives in a chaise with the royal arms drawn by four wretched hacks, only the hind-quarters (right) of the leaders being visible. Behind the coach stand three stolid English footmen. The chaise-doors are open, a fish-wife has entered from each side; both embrace Malmesbury who puts out his hands in dismay. Beside him (left) sits his secretary, a pen behind his ear. Another woman is getting into the chaise (left) and a fourth stands beside it, arms outspread, and grinning broadly; two fish are attached to her petticoat. All the spectators are cheering wildly. In the foreground are (left to right) a dwarfish boy, an officer wearing a feathered cocked hat and tattered coat, a ragged man wearing jack-boots and a bag-wig, waving a bonnet-rouge; a sansculotte, wearing sabots, a dagger in his belt. These are in back view. Beyond and behind the chaise bonnets-rouges are being wildly waved by a freely sketched crowd. A French postilion in military dress, a horn slung round his neck, flourishes a whip."--British Museum online catalogue

"A water-side scene with a broken tree (right) in the middle distance. A stork stands with an eel in its mouth looking down at a duck; a tortoise walks off. 'Jamais les Droits Seigneuriaux n'ont mieuxêté administré que depuis que la bassecour s'en mêle. 'Pourquoi ce jeune arbrisseau meurt-il? . . . On a coupé ses racines; il aurait pu devenir trop haut.

"A skeleton (cf. BMSat 8825), representing the reorganized Dutch army, stands on a rectangular pedestal, inscribed 'De \ niewwe \ orga= \ nio \ satie. \ 1795. \ Het Ith Jaar der \ Batavsche Vryhyd'. It wears a cocked hat and short military coat (showing its ribs - 'un bel uniforme à la Française'), and smokes a pipe. Two French officers are on the left, one turns his back on the skeleton and rides his cane, like a hobby horse, his sabre against his shoulder. The other holds up an admonishing arm towards two dejected Dutch officers of unmilitary appearance: one appears to be a member of the National Guard, the other, a hunch-back, wearing jackboots and sword but leaning decrepitly on a cane, tramples on 'Traité sur l'honeur Milita[ire]'. He is 'General S.' Text, 'Jeremiah', xlviii. 14."--British Museum online catalogue
