- Abstract
-
"Napoleon, on a galloping horse, is confronted by Blücher (right) who fires a blunderbuss at close range. He is pursued by Wellington (left) who gallops towards him, sabre in hand. Napoleon has lost his stirrups; he faces Blücher with arms thrown wide in a gesture of despair. His crown flies from his head, and six eagles (or geese) fly off to the left, above Wellington. In the background, among smoke, cavalry in wild flight (right) and wild pursuit (left) are indicated."--British Museum online catalogue
