Dumourer & his aid du camp on full march to seal up the papers of the Prince of Orange. By order of the convention but prevented by messers frog & co-, Isaac Cruikshank, 1793

Dumouriez, followed by a tall and ragged sansculotte, marches aggressively towards a low barricade (left), behind which are frog-soldiers presenting their bayonets at the invaders. Dumouriez, foppishly dressed in regimentals, but with bare legs, his shirt confined by a sash, holds against his shoulder an enormous seal. He says, holding out his right hand, "monsr orange, i will seal up your papers, & take care of your cash". From his pocket hangs a scroll: 'new laws for holland prepar'd by the convention'. His 'aid du camp' holds against his shoulder a gigantic piece of sealing-wax inscribed 'fyn se gelak wel brand en vart. Houd', in his right hand is a large lighted candle or taper. He says, "aha. Monr grenouille i wou'd rather eat you than fight. " he is perhaps miranda, dumouriez' second in command. 13 march 1793. Hand-coloured etching. Date: 1793. Dimensions: Height: 229 mm; Width: 333 mm.
