"One of the Directory, stripped to the waist, is chained by the wrists to a post inscribed 'Tree of Liberty' and surmounted by a bonnet-rouge (cf. BMSat 9214, &c). Suvóroff holds him by the hair and ferociously raises a whip to strike. He wears a fur-bordered cap (with skull and cross-bones as in BMSat 9387), tunic, cloak, and boots, and says: "This is the new Dance a la Carmagnole!" The other four Directors (see BMSat 9387), full-face, but looking sideways in horror at the Russian, wait their turn; one (left) kneels in supplication. They wear their official dress (see BMSat 9199); the cloak and hat of the victim are on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sequence of disasters: a servant (left), entering with a joint of meat, is tripped up by a dog, falls forward, bringing his dish down heavily on the head of one diner. The latter falls backwards, grabbing the table, which tilts and, together with a plate of soup, strikes his 'vis-à-vis' under the chin. The contents of a large tureen deluge the falling man. A second servant (right) runs forward with uplifted arms. Two lighted candles fall with the table."--British Museum catalogue
