The French admiral grotesquely caricatured is dancing with joy, trampling on a flag inscribed "Colour[s of] England". He is lean and dressed like the French officer of caricature, with a very long pigtail queue, a laced and feathered hat, a tasselled cane under his left arm, and tassels on his sword. He wears top-boots, striped stockings, ruffled shirt, and large epaulettes. His right fist is clenched. Over his head is engraved "Begar how we did make the English run". In the distance is a fleet of ships in full sail making for a castle flying the French flag and inscribed "Brest".  1 May 1781
