As the result of the Convention of Cintra, French general Junot is shown vomiting, with great effort, a large booty of gold coins, candlesticks, church plate, watches, and other valuables while a Portuguese kneeling in front of him attempts to catch as many items as possible into an already-disgorged silver basin. To Junot's right stands John Bull in sailor's clothes and ill-fitting wig. He is holding the general's head in order to help him rid himself of his plunder. Three French officers on the left watch the above scene with dismay and anger

"Joseph Bonaparate, the newly crowned King of Spain, stands at centre wearing doublet, slashed breeches, crown, medallion and cloak, and turned in beseeching attitude to left, where four Spaniards are standing; Joseph says, 'For this kind and flattering reception much thanks. behold the Brother of the great Napolean come to reign over you for your goods.' One of the Spanish men, with a long sword, says to another whose hand is on his dagger, 'yes Comrade and for our Chattels too if I guess right.'; behind them, a woman holding a dagger says to another, 'He was bred an Attorney and w'eel soon eject him from Spain'. Behind Joseph at right stand his French supporters, one holding a flag lettered 'Vive le Roi' over Joseph's head, and angrily crying, 'Will no one Huzza - - will no one ring the Bells - if you dont make a noise you shall all fall by the Royal Bayonet.', a cry of 'Vive le Roy Huzza' arising from a pike-carrying crowd behind."--British Museum online catalogue

"Napoleon (left) and Joseph sit side by side on low seats or stools, both with a hand on each knee. They have large, elongated heads broadly caricatured (as in British Museum Satires No. 10604, &c.) and look sideways at each other with drawn-down mouths and wrinkled foreheads. Napoleon is in uniform, wearing a feathered bicorne; Joseph wears a crown with Spanish dress, ermine-trimmed robe, and the order of the Golden Fleece. His seat is, very inconspicuously, a commode. At his feet is a sceptre with a scroll inscribed 'Servata Fides Cineri'. Napoleon says: "A pretty piece of Business we have made of it Brother Joe." Joseph: "I always told you Nap, what would come of makeing too free with the Spaniards.""--British Museum online catalogue
