"A tall French soldier, swarthy, mustachioed, muscular, and sinister stands almost full-face, his mouth open as if shouting. In his large cocked hat are three large favours, one white inscribed 'Vive Le Roi', one tricolour inscribed 'Vive Le Empereur', the uppermost and largest, 'Vive Le Diable', is pink. He holds his musket by the barrel, the butt resting on the ground, in his left hand he holds out a snuff-box. His uniform is neat, but his feet are bare, except for remnants of leather across the instep. By his head in large letters: 'French Constancy' (left) and 'French Integrity' (right). Behind and on a smaller scale are emblems of fickleness: a windmill (left) represents 'French Stability'; an ape and cat embracing, both on their hind-legs, represents: 'French Union between the National Guard and Troops of the Line'."--British Museum online catalogue.
