Le Départ et le Retour (The departure and the return)
|
| Historical Notes | Printed the day of Napoleon's departure from Fontainebleau for Elba, this drawing shows a victorious Louis XVIII and an enraged Napoleon. Louis, deceptively slender here, holds the fleur de lys (symbol of the monarchy) and tramples violets (symbol of Napoleon) underfoot. Napoleon, on breaking stilts, carries a nest of vipers in his hand and in his mouth.
