"Satire on the French king and his nobles melting valuables to make coin to pay war expenses in reaction to the disasters of the year 1759. Louis XV stands on the left holding a broken sceptre that he prepares to add to the crucible; Marshal Belle-Isle crouches on the right cutting up a candlestick; Madame de Pompadour works the bellows. Items of plate lie on the floor, including a vase lettered, "Germain fec" and a box lettered, "Messonier Inv"; on the wall hang portraits of W[illiam] P[itt], lettered "Terror of France", into which a sword is stuck, Newcastle and Fox, the latter two covered by a large cobweb."--British Museum online catalogue
