A group of seven monarchs wearing crowns and ermine-trimmed robes. At a table sit three who are studying a large map inscribed "Map of the Kingdom of Poland". They are evidently Catherine II of Russia, Frederick of Prussia, and the Emperor. Facing them (l.) sits a king whose crown is broken, his head is bowed, his hands are tied behind his back, evidently Stanislaus II of Poland. Behind the three studying the map, two standing monarchs (r.) look on with expressions of concern, they are Louis XV (indicated by fleur-de-lys) and Charles III of Spain. In a chair on the extreme right. George III lies back fast asleep; his chair is inscribed "Brit. . ." . Behind Stanislaus (l.) sits a bearded man with an elaborate triple turban; his wrists and ankles are chained; he probably represents the Grand Signor of Turkey with whom Catharine was at war. Above the map of Poland hang scales inscribed "The Ballance of Power"; on the lighter scale is a label inscribed "Great Britain". July 1772
