The leaf has a not common, asymmetrical distribution with a French army camp on the front and a marshal to the right that together with high, French officers decreases a parade. In the left-hand cartouche: the soldiers in gray uniforms with tricorns adorned with white cocarde's are French troops between 1734 and 1757. From 1762 the Cocarde's black are black. A group of 'Anspessades' can probably be seen here; Edellen, Elite soldiers, who served at the infantry: 12 on a company of 300 people. In the right Cartouche: the caveerists in blue justaucorps (with red sleeves) are most likely gardens du corps, Maison du Roi. The Cavalerists in Red Jackets are Gendarmes de la Garde of Chevaux armies de la Garde or Mousquetaires. The middle figure - with a butchers in the right hand - carries the blue Orderdelint of the 'Ordre du Saint Esprit' over the left shoulder. Louis XV (1710-1715-177
