Not on view
Napoleon, frantic with fear and rage, dances on the lid of a large cask marked "Real Hollands Geneva." He is surrounded by figures who represent the powers of Europe (Spain, Portugal, Hanover, a Cossack, a Pole, Austria, Sweden, Bavaria, Prussia, the King of Wurtemburg, a Dutchman), now all turned against him and puffing smoke at him. The cask lid tilts and he is about to fall in.
