The engraving captures the moment when a peaceful dinner party is abruptly disrupted by the chaos of revolution. As cannonballs crash through the window, shocked and terrified English diners find themselves in a state of alarm. The room becomes a battleground as guests scramble for cover under furniture while an explosion shatters their elegant surroundings.

With his signature wit, he highlights their comical expressions and gestures, emphasizing their vulnerability amidst the turmoil.
