About this work

A hand-colored satirical caricature shows a large bear wearing a collar labeled Paul, a fur-hatted figure holding a sword, and an armored challenger with a shield inscribed with naval names, set in a crowded arena with spectators. A speech balloon above announces the challenge, and the caption reads Single Combat in Moorfields. The print is attributed to Thomas Rowlandson and dated 1801.
