Abstract

"The Archduchess Marie Louise lying in a canopied bed with Napoleon; she lies back languidly but with her feet overhanging the edge, remarking, 'My dear Nap: your bed accommodations are very indifferent! Too short by a yard! I wonder how Josephino put up with such things even as long as she did!!!' Napoleon lies beside her, resting on his right elbow and looking off discontentedly to right, replying, 'Indeed Maria I do not well understand you? The Empress Josephino who knew things better than I hope you do, never grumbled - Le Diable! I see I never will be able to get what I want after all!!!' In the left foreground, a dog is just seen leaping over a tumbled pile of crowns, two labelled 'France', 'Spain'."--British Museum online catalogue
