Depiction: A remarkably well-assorted quartet, according to English views at the period, consisting of Napoleon, seated beside his friends Death, the Devil, and Joseph, ex-king of Spain. Napoleon, at whose back is a view of Malmaison, has risen to propose a toast: "Come, gentlemen, here is success to plunder and massacre!" Two of the guests are receiving this sentiment with rapture, but "Joe, the intruder" is sitting in sulkiness, discomfited by the late experience which has been forced on him.
Unsigned.
