| Date | 1 Mar 1801 |
| Description | A former minister in conversation with a woman. The minister, standing on the left, is 'holding a hat' and wearing a bag-wig, a sword and has his coat pocket full of scrolls. He addresses the woman:
"Madam I was once a minster, and to negotiations, I shall therefore be happy to treat with you on Matrimonial Speculation, - I have ample credentials ready to ratify my powers, and if you please will enter into preliminaries immediately, - let me have but a slight glance at your projet, and be assured I will deliver to you my contre projet as soon as the definitive treat is concluded, and duly guaranteed."
The woman, who is short and plump, looks aghast at the proposition.
