- Abstract
-
"The friends of 'Nap' are Death, a skeleton, the Devil, a monster with webbed wings and barbed tail, and Joseph Bonaparte. They sit drinking at an oblong table, Death at the head (right), facing Joseph, and with Napoleon on his right, the Devil on his left seated on a stool. Napoleon stands in profile to the left, giving a toast, "Come Gentlemen - here is Success to Plunder and Massacre." Death and the Devil prepare to drink, but Joseph sits glumly, his elbows on the table, supporting his chin on his fists. On the table are decanters, one labelled 'Champagne'. Behind Napoleon's head hangs a 'View of Malmaison' with tiny foreground figures: the Devil and Napoleon clasping hands."--British Museum online catalogue.
