Il a des rats plein sa cervelle, plein sa gamache et plein ses bas; il jette à ses pieds ce qu'il tenait dans ses mains (BM 2012,7029.3)

A satire on Louis XVI showing the French King standing full-length, wearing red jacket and breeches, looking to the left as on the right the young Dauphin dressed in green helps him carring his sceptre; rats, symbols of the King's whims, and flying insects, are seen fleeing his head, which is surmounted by a weather vane; his crown lies discarded at his feet
