Description |
English: To Be Performed At The Theatre Royal Paris Published after the Treaty of Chaumont where the European Allies agreed to pursue Napoleon with a multi-national force, this drawing shows the Allies chasing him from the throne room at the Tuileries. The portrait is a caricature of Louis XVIII. Napoleon is dressed as a harlequin, and has discarded his crown and sceptre. He is shown leaping through the portrait of a very complacent Louis XVIII, pursued by a pack of buffoons meant to represent the monarchs of Europe: Ferdinand of Spain (falling), a Russian Cossack (prodding with the spear), the King of Wurtemberg (on his knees, firing the two pistols), the Emperor of Austria (wearing a wallet labeled Pantaloon), the Pope, and the King of Prussia. One of the monarchs takes down the portrait of Columbine, which is either Marie Louise or the Duchesse d'Angouleme.
