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

A view of the interior of a busy French barracks shows a more domestic than military atmosphere although weapons and other gear adorn the walls and lay scattered on the floor. The scene includes a woman nursing a baby (right) as another child plays at her feet. Beside her another woman holds up a mirror so that an officer can admire his reflection from both the front and back. A third woman (left) cuts an officers toe nails as a barber dresses his long queue; another officer has his hair powdered. In the background a man in his night shirt sits on the side of his bed as he stretches his arms and yawns
