Two sailors (left), wearing jackets and striped trousers, attack with their fists two bare-legged sans-culottes who put up their hands and scream. A bulldog worries a frenchman (right) in whose belt is a dagger; the nails on his fingers and toes are talons. Another frenchman lies on the ground, while three flee in terror.
