General Swarrow, towing the French directory into Russia!!

British Museum Catalogue: 'A burlesque design of Suvoroff leading the five Directors by ropes round their necks. He marches smoking a pipe; his fur cap is decorated with a skull and cross-bones, similar emblems are on his uniform. On his arm is a medallion inscribed Warsaw: a bird of prey tears at an infant. Many pistols are thrust through his belt. The Directors walk in a row, shoulder to shoulder, hands clasped in despair; they wear the official costume of red cloak and feathered hat. They are not portraits. The directors were Barras, Rewbell (succeeded by Sieyès on 11 May, probably unknown to the artist), Merlin, Larevellière-Lépeaux, and Treilhard. A satire on the French defeats in Italy in April. Suvoroff entered Milan on 28 April, having defeated Moreau...He is represented as an ogre-like creature, on account of the storm of Praga and occupation of Warsaw.'
