Summary
Two French officers collect requisitioned goods from two Hollanders. One holds out smiling an empty sack, directing an abject Dutchman on the extreme right to put in the two money-bags which he holds. The other clenches his fist and seizes the wig of a fat Dutchman. Beside him (left) are two barrels. Behind (right) is a baggage-wagon, its canvas tilt inscribed 'Republique Françoise'.
