On the left under the title "England" a bear sits at a table enjoying a hearty meal of roast beef and plum pudding while across from him sits a frog in a French uniform with a sword at his waist, a plate of only sauce before him and two turnips to the side. The fox toasts his companion with a glass while the bear holds up a large frothing mug of beer. A wine cooler in the foreground holds four bottles of wine. On the wall behind each figure is a round framed image: two birds above the bear and a woman holding a cross (a saint?) above the frog
