| Historical Notes | According to Clerc, this drawing is a direct allusion to the stoutness of both Napoleon and his chief aide, Cambacérès.
Reference source: Clerc #76.
Broadley, on the other hand, dates it to 1800 and identifies the third figure as Lebrun (third consul under Napoleon). Broadley also mentions a later version that replaces Napoleon and Lebrun with D'Aigrefeuille and Villevieille, friends of Cambacérès who were known for their gluttony.
