Charles François Dumouriez seated and three cooks advance towards him, wearing bonnets-rouges with tricolour cockades, aprons, and over-sleeves. They are Fox, the foremost, proffering the steaming head of Pitt, Sheridan, on Fox's left, proffers a dish on which steams a broken royal crown. Defeated at Neerwinden (1793), he betrayed his country and turned the commissioners sent to arrest him (including Beurnonville, Minister of War) to the Austrians. Wandered through Europe, settled in England (1800). He was never allowed to return to France.
