Old blutcher beating the Corsican big drum

General Blücher stands in the center of the image his arms and legs are spread wide to reveal his imposing size. Napoleon, dwarfed to childish proportions, is slung around Blücher's neck as if he were a large drum. Blücher stares down at Napoleon with furious intent, while he whips Napoleon's bare backside with a bundle of sticks and beats his head with a club. Napoleon screams in pain and in fright at such treatment. A music sheet titled "The Down fall of Paris" lies open under Blücher's legs to indicate the tune he plays on his new drum. Behind them the Prussian troops arrive and beat the French viciously. While the Prussian soldiers celebrate their victory by erecting flags on the battle field and on the top of the large crenelated tower inscribed "Paris" (upper right), the French flee in panic.
