A fox stands with a pen in its right paw looking up at a pug dog which sits on a raised platform (left). The pug (Holland) holds a tobacco-pipe in its right paw, beneath its feet is a torn document inscribed "To their High Mig &amp;c. . . ". (The States General at The Hague were styled their High Mightinesses, "Hogen Mogen".) He is saying to Fox, "The King Your Master proceeding so arbitrary, obliged me to join the powers at war with him; I cannot therefore treat of a separate peace". The head and shoulders of George III appear just within the right margin of the print, he leans forward addressing Fox, whose back is turned towards him, "My Fox in this negotiation thou art a mistaken goose".  25 July 1782
