- "The artist [a portrait of Woodward], wearing a flowered dressing-gown, sits in profile to the right. at a sloping desk, painting on a small oval a bust portrait of a sailor who sits truculently (right), smoking a pipe, arms akimbo. The sailor wears a round hat, short jacket, knotted handkerchief, striped trousers and buckled shoes. On his cheek is a round black patch. At his elbow is a punch-bowl. He says: "Come my Hearty - mind what you are at - make good use of your Eyes - you know the terms on which I set sail - ten golden quids if you come to Anchor in ten minutes - but a minute beyond time, and you have but five you know, so heave a head do you hear - and lay in plenty of the true-blue about the jacket, - and Harkee Young-one - don't forget the beauty spot on the lar-board side of my Cheek - Poll calls it her hearts delight, - well this same painting is a fine knack to be sure - but I am rather puzzled about one thing - If you can get my hulk, head, and stern into that there little bit of ivory - d------n me, but I think you would be able to tow a seventy-four through one of the cock boat Arches of London Bridge"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The small, nimble Napoleon plays leap-frog with the larger and more solid personifications of Holland, Spain, and Hanover, who stand with bent backs and hands on knees. Having leapt over the bent backs of a fat Dutchman (left) and then a Spanish don in feathered hat, ruff, and cloak, he bestrides the shoulders of Hanover, a German soldier wearing a cocked hat and jack-boots. The Dutchman, his hat and broken pipe on the ground, says with a scowl: "He has left the Swiss and Italian a Mile behind - and as for me he ha s Knock'd my hat off and broken my pipe - pretty encouragement this to play at Leap Frog". The Spaniard: "By St Iago - my back is almost broken." The Hanoverian: "Why did I submit to this." Napoleon, wearing his enorrnous cocked hat with tricolour plume, says: "Keep down your head Master Hanoverian my next leap shall be over John Bull." John (right), a fat citizen wearing a cocked hat, faces him with a clenched fist, saying, "I'll be d-----d if you do Master Corsican"."--British Museum online catalogue
