Depiction: The Corsican, who is represented as both prematurely aged and haggard, is sprawled, spread-eaglewise, on the ground. Upon him is a formidable harrow, which is kept in its place by the obese figure of a traditional Hollander, who is leisurely smoking with his hands in his pockets and an Orange favour in his hat, in philosophic indifference to the situation and sufferings of the victim, who is exclaiming, "Oh! this heavy Dutchman! Oh! had I not enough to bear before!!!"
Unsigned.
