"'French Agents' purchase sheep, cattle, and pigs, which are being driven into boats to be taken to a French ship at anchor. Fox, as the commissary general, stands in profile to the left, holding a bag of 'French Gold' and pouring coins into the hand of the stout and smiling Lansdowne who is dressed as a farmer, and is disposing of a flock of sheep (left). Sheridan stands on Fox's right, clutching a money-bag and gazing fixedly at Lansdowne. Behind them is the taller Grey. These three are fashionably dressed, especially Fox who wears a French cocked hat, long overcoat reaching to his heels, over a frogged coat. The other two wear long coats and bonnets-rouges, with half-boots. Behind them stands their clerk, Erskine, a sansculotte wearing sabots and a bonnet-rouge, with barrister's wig and bands. He writes: 'Republican Purchase'. In the foreground (left) the Duke of Bedford, dressed as a farmer, but wearing fashionable spurred top-boots, sits, complacently counting money, on a sack of 'Superfine Bedfordshire Flour for Paris' (cf. BMSat 8783). Beside him (left) are sacks of 'Fine Bedfordshire Flour' labelled 'For Dieppe' and 'For Ostend'. Behind them and in the middle distance the Duke of Norfolk walks to the right, carrying on his head a steaming dish of 'Norfolk Dumplings'. Near him is the Duke of Grafton driving cattle towards the shore. On the right is a boat containing pigs and a cow. Stanhope sits at the tiller, smoking. He wears a bonnet-rouge with a bag-wig. The boat has a furled sail and flies a tricolour flag inscribed 'Vive la Republique'. Another boat-load of cattle is being rowed towards the French ship. In the foreground is a basket of chickens and geese and a bundle of muskets, across which is a tricolour scroll inscribed 'Provision for French Army. Dissenting Manufacture'."--British Museum online catalogue
