François II revenant de la guerre demande sa solde de retraite au peuple Aanglais
'John Bull (right) sits solidly behind his dinner-table, on which he plants his fist aggressively. The Emperor, wounded and ragged, a knapsack and a fragment of a crown at his back, holds out a hand like a begging soldier. One arm is in a sling, a crutch is under his right arm, and a wooden leg supports his right knee; his head is bandaged. The dog befouls his crutch. Bull looks up to say: "Que-veux-tu, malheureux? n'as tu pas recu ton salaire vas t'en au diable". On his table are meat, bottles, and a punch-bowl. Pitt (right) stands behind the curtain, his back to Bull and the Emperor, his knees flexed, biting his finger in despair' -- British Museum.
