A sequel to bmsat 7176. Stout dutchmen, members of the free corps, flee in disorder before a fierce prussian officer, probably the duke of brunswick, who advances from the right on a prancing horse, threatening them with a sabre. Some kneel on the ground with their hands clasped in supplication. A french petit-maître, his hat under his arm, runs off, his arms raised deprecatingly. A number of frogs fall over each other in their haste to escape. 18 october 1787 etching. Date: 1787. Dimensions: Height: 322 mm; ; Width: 399 mm. Medium: paper.
