On the left, the Duke of Bedford, in a farmer's smock, unloads deer from a wagon in front of an open gate to a park. One of his deer, with a French cockade outlined behind its ear, faces a royal deer with a crown sketched on its shoulder. The King watches Bedford through a spy-glass from a window of the gatehouse on the right. Alarmed that the new arrivals will ruin his herd, he orders foreign deer out and the gates closed immediately. In the wall below the window is a closed door with a knocker in shape of a face, possibly Pitt's.

"Bonaparte (right) sits at a small table writing with fierce decision; the second and third consuls sit facing him, biting their pens in pompous indecision, their papers are blank. The latter wear the flamboyant dress of the Directors (see BMSat 9199), Cambacéiès (left) has thick gouty legs. Bonaparte wears similar dress, but with a more fantastic cocked hat, in which, besides enormous feathers, is a large sheaf of olive-branches tied with tricolour (symbol of his overture to George III, see BMSat 9512); he wears jack-boots and a large sabre inscribed 'Liberté'. He writes the 'Nouvelle \ Constitution \ Grand Consul Buonaparte \ Tout en Tout Buonaparte \ Bu . . .' Beside him are papers docketed: 'Constitution pour l'Avenir: Buonaparte Grande Monarque' and 'Confiscations'. On the ground are torn papers: 'Vielles Constitutions'; 'Droit [de] l'Homme'; his foot rests on 'Constitution of 1793'. Behind, Sieyès, a lean grotesque savant, holds apart with both hands, with a violence that suggests impotence, a curtain which stretches across the design, revealing papers in pigeon-holes inscribed: 'Constitution de Parade', 'Constitution du Sang', 'Constitution de Foutre', 'Constitution de Despotism', 'Constitution de Vol[eur?]'. Above them is a model of a guillotine. Above the curtain is a festoon of tricolour, inscribed 'Vive le Constitution Une et Invisible', centred by crossed blunderbusses. The tablecloth is looped up to show a group of tiny fire-lit demons forging fetters. Beneath the design: 'The above are true Likenesses of Cambaceres, - Le-Brun - the Abbé Seiyes, and Buonaparte, drawn at Paris Novr 1799'. All are caricatured, but Bonaparte less than the others."--British Museum online catalogue
