- Abstract
-
"Bonaparte (right) stands in profile to the left, directing with outstretched right arm the Grenadiers who, at the point of the bayonet, are ejecting the Council of Five Hundred from the Orangery. The members, in their official costume (see BMSat 9198), flee in wild confusion. Officers (right) stand behind Bonaparte; a little drummer fiercely beats a drum inscribed 'Vive la Liberte'. A tricolour flag is inscribed 'Vive le Triumverate Buonaparte Seyes-Ducos'. All are caricatured except Bonaparte, who is calm and dignified, though with (dagger) wounds on face and arms. He tramples on 'Un liste de Membres du Conseil des Cinque Cents' which lies beside a paper: 'Resignation des Directoires'."--British Museum online catalogue
