Dansons la carmagnole! Vive le son! Vive le son!

A Dutch soldier (left) and his wife (right), joining hands, dance round a tree of Liberty to music supplied by a foppish French soldier on the extreme left who beats a drum and blows a trumpet, and by a stout Dutchman on the extreme right who plays bagpipes inscribed 'Vader-lands Liefde' (Love of Country). The 'tree' is a pole surmounted by a milk-churn inscribed 'Vryheid \ Gellykheid \ Broederscha[p]'. This inscription (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) occurs on Dutch prints after the French invasion; above the tree is a cap of Liberty shaped like a fool's cap, and a tricolour flag inscribed 'Hollandia Regenerate[a]'. On the churn sits a parrot, 'trying to imitate the patriotic accents of his French brothers'. A monkey climbs up the pole.
