In an attempt to sit on two stools, one for the Kingdom of Naples (l.), the other for Spain (r.), Joseph Bonaparte has fallen between the two seats and has landed on the ground. In this image Joseph's Spanish style clothing is ostentatiously colored and decorated with slashed sleeves and knickers, a lacy ruff, and an ermine-trimmed cloak. Joseph Bonaparte's fleeting control of the crowns of Naples and Spain is parodied as the crowns sprout wings and take flight; one to Sicily, the other to Ferdinand VII. John Bull watches from the background and chastises the ruler for his greed. With a club tucked under his arm, he scowls menacingly at King Joe. George has translated the term "moucheron" to mean "gnat" or "whippersnapper." The surface of the print shows some signs of wear, some foxing and light stains.
