Abstract:
"Masqueraders stand closely grouped. A centre figure is an obese, aged, and capering Punch, playing a guitar. Two women are prominent, both are in profile to the left, and wear small masks which frame their eyes. One holds a wand and a book inscribed 'Magi', the other wears breeches and is very décolletée. Behind her is an ugly coarse-looking man, wearing a domino with a naturalistic mask resembling his own features. A man wears a bag-wig with large horns and carries a placard inscribed 'Horns to Sell'. One figure wears two realistic and complete masks, Janus-like--one that of a handsome woman, the other of an ugly man. The background is an arc of a rotunda, with Ionic pillars framing curtains and decorated with fairy lights."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Marie Louise shrinks in terror from her baby son, seated on her knee, who threatens her with a dagger. In his left hand is the orb which he seems about to hurl at her. He wears a cocked hat and has the features of his father in profile to the left. Napoleon draws aside a curtain (right); his profile (to the right), expression, and cocked hat resemble those of his son, as in British Museum Satires No. 11719. The Empress: "There's no Condition sure so curst as mine--Day and Night to dandle such a Dragon--The little Angry Cur snarls while it feeds--See how the Blood is settled in his Scarecrow Face--what brutal mischief sits upon his Brow--Rage and Vengeance sparkle in his Cheeks--the very spawn and spit of its Tyrant Father--Nay now I look again he is the very Picture of his Grandfather the Devil". In her alarm she kicks over a child's commode (right); a saucepan and spoon lie on the floor. On the extreme left appears the head of a mitred bishop (probably Fesch), who raises an arm, as if from the floor or below it, holding up to the Empress a goblet inscribed 'Composing Draught'. Beside him, a sinister face, behind the Empress's chair, looks up to say: "Send him to his Grand Pappa as quick as possible"."--British Museum online catalogue
