French soldiers strip Dutchmen of their bulky breeches in order to supply themselves with those garments as in BMSat 8613.  On the extreme left a Dutchman hangs by the neck from a lamp-bracket, while two Frenchmen pull off his breeches, a third (right) already fitted out stands in profile to the right watching the operation and taking snuff.   A Dutchman (centre) lies under a guillotine confined not at the neck but at the waist; four sansculottes stand round, one holding the cord which will release the blade.  In front a Frenchman in breeches sits on the ground.  On the right two Frenchmen are about to strip a disconsolate Dutchman, one holds up a fish by the tail.  Beside him is a bottle of 'Hollands'. See BMSat 8608, &amp;c.  10 March 1795
