Il essuie de grands revers, ou les taches ineffaçables

Napoleon (r.) frantically attempts to erase his crimes from a scroll held on one end by a kneeling devil (l.), and on the other by a struggling Napoleon. The scroll lists Napoleon's crimes that have earned him a place in Hell. Among them are "D'Engheim," "Espagne," "Moscou," and "Leipsic." Behind Napoleon and the devil, the shrouded form of Kleber rises from behind a pyramidal tomb. Kleber cries for "vengence" and is marked by a dagger in his chest.
