A view of the interior of a busy English barracks shows a more domestic than military atmosphere although weapons and other gear adorn the walls and lay scattered on the floor. The scene includes a woman nursing a baby (left); beside her, one soldier brushes his britches while another adjusts his helmet. A second woman (center) carries a child on her back as she hands a drink to a soldier who sits on a bunk; a basket of rolls (?) hangs from her arm. A third woman (left) stands at a washing tub wringing out clothes as she looks up approvingly at a young boy dressed as a soldier; beside her a handsome, well-dressed solder holds a baby who smiles at the scene.

"An enormously fat lady stands in profile to the left, holding a bowl (resembling a punch-bowl), her left hand on her hip, holding up the frilled apron which drapes her quilted petticoat. She wears ringlets with a small ribbon-trimmed straw hat poised on the side of her head. Her girth is accentuated by her quasi-peasant costume, with laced bodice, and flowered over-dress looped up in festoons, giving her a globular contour. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Addington, chapeau-bras, squats in profile to the left over a cocked hat into which he evacuates papers: 'Guadeloupe', 'Martinique', 'St Domingo', 'Cape of Good Hope', 'Egypt', and (the last) 'Malta'. Napoleon (left), very small and thin, holds him by the cravat and threatens him with a sabre, saying, "All! - all! - you Jean F-t-e! - think yourself well off that I leave you Great Britain!!!" Addington, terrified, says: "Pray do not insist upon Malta! - I shall certainly be turned out! and I have got a great many Cousins and Uncles & Aunts, to provide for, yet!" A French officer in uniform, (?) Andréossi, holds out his cocked hat to catch the papers which fall from Addington. He says, holding his nose: "My General, you had better not get him turn'd out - for we shall not be able to humbug them any more." Napoleon wears a huge cocked hat with tricolour plume and a tricolour sash with immense spurs on his Hessian boots."--British Museum online catalogue.
