About this work

Caricature in which British soldiers drive the French out of the Netherlands, a reference to the British-Russian invasion of 1799. A grateful Dutchman shakes hands with an English sailor. A Dutch woman with bare bosom pours a glass of gin. In the background the ships of the British fleet, to the right the French flee leaving behind bags of stolen money.
