"Two ferocious Austrian hussars have decapitated the two French envoys. One (left) holds his victim feet in air, the head between the feet. The other stands still, blood spouting from his neck, while the soldier displays to the victim the head spiked on his sabre. The third (De Bry), slashed with sabre-cuts and dropping a dispatch-box, flees before a mob of soldiers. On the left is the back of the travelling carriage, with three trunks inscribed respectively: 'Roberjot', 'Bonnier', 'Jean Debry'. An open dispatch-box with papers is on the ground.

"Paul I, caricatured, stands full-face, his head turned in profile to the left, and looking up, arrogant and mean. He wears uniform with a star, two Crosses of the Order of the Knights of St. John, and a ribbon. (He had been elected Grand Master in Oct. 1798 by the Knights, exiled from Malta, who had sought refuge in Russia.) He wears a sash over his coat, the tails of which reach, beetle-like, to his heels. Under his right arm is a huge fringed cocked hat, in his gauntleted left hand he holds a walking-stick. He tramples on a tattered flag inscribed 'Vive l'Egalité'. A low horizon and clouds form a background. Near the upper margin is a Russian P enclosing I: symbol for Paul I."--British Museum online catalogue
