Summary:
The equestrian statue of George III dressed as Marcus Aurelius stands behind the brick wall of Lansdowne House in Berkeley Square, London, watching the assembly in the garden through a spy-glass. Above the wall, hats with French republican cockades are being waved while invisible speakers express support shouting "Vive Barrere," and "C̦a ira," in reference to Lord Lansdowne's failed motion for peace with France in February 1794. In the background is the facade of the house.
