- Abstract
-
"A fat Dutchman (right), with left leg raised high, has kicked Napoleon into the air, towards a large exulting Devil crouching before the flames of Hell (left). Napoleon's bicorne is falling to the ground, his sword flies up, attached to the belt. The Devil grasps Napoleon by the left ankle. He is a naked satyr with hairy legs, barbed tail, fierce talons, as in British Museum Satires No. 6283 by Rowlandson. The Dutchman holds a goblet above his head, in his left hand is a long tobacco-pipe. He wears the usual bulky breeches with short jacket, and has a big (orange) cockade in his high-crowned hat. In the background a second Dutchman lunges forward with a pitchfork pressed against the posterior of Joseph, who runs screaming towards the flames, his crown on the ground behind him. The scene is the sea-shore, with three ships (right) at anchor."--British Museum online catalogue
