"The five members are somnolent. One stands with closed eyes, a lighted candle in each hand, with one of which he negligently sets fire to the wig of a member asleep in his chair (left). The candlesticks are inscribed 'P. V.O.' (? Prins van Oranje). Behind and on the right two sit asleep at a table on which are glasses, a tall bottle of 'Vaderlander Schied[am]', and a pipe. On the ground behind, a man lies face downwards, a glass clasped in his hand. On the floor are a paper headed 'Rotterdam' and a decapitated cock, so dealt with to prevent the crowing of the vigilant bird, which might have disturbed them. Text, 'Isaiah', xxix. 10."--British Museum online catalogue

"Seven men, closely grouped, fight and scuffle confusedly. On the ground (left) are the arrows of the seven United Provinces, broken and separated, a cat plays with the ribbon which binds them (the symbolical bond of union, cf. BMSat 5712). A National Guard has taken one of the arrows and drives it into the head of a man whose eye he tries to gouge out, and who grasps another antagonist by the wig. One raises a chair to smite, another empties a wine-bottle on an opponent."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two committee-men make requisitions from a peasant and a barrow-woman. One takes a fish from the creel on the fisherman's back, and puts it into a small cornucopia which he holds. The victim, who wears trousers and sabots filled with straw, holds a paper, 'Recepisse' (see BMSat 8849), and clenches his fist, furious at receiving a receipt instead of cash. The other, in back view, has taken a handful of turnips, the old woman looks at him with a hungry, puzzled stare."--British Museum online catalogue
