Opposite him a green rat-like animal, (possibly a monkey) representing France and wearing a red military coat, sword, and feathered tricorne hat, has before him a carafe and glass of wine together with a few mushrooms and onions. On the wall behind the bear is a picture of two overweight pugilists, and behind the rat two duelists with rapiers
