Abstract:
"A scene on the wild and rocky shore of Elba where Napoleon has just landed. He stands on the beach in deep dejection, in profile to the right, looking down, and saying: "Ah Woe is me seeing what I have and seeing what I see" ['Hamlet', III. i]. A dog befouls his boot. He is the centre of attraction to uncouth peasants who surround him, while many more approach through a defile in the mountains. A gross and hideous woman, holding a long tobacco-pipe, puts her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Come cheer up my little Nicky I'll be your Empress." A man beside her points to a ship at anchor; a boat filled with people is rowing out to her. The peasants all grin broadly. Near Napoleon (left) is seated a hideous, barelegged woman suckling an infant and smoking a long pipe. An almost naked child clings to her shoulders, putting out his tongue at Napoleon, as does a man standing just behind him. In the foreground, Napoleon's Mameluke, Ali, sits on the ground, beside a pile of portmanteaux inscribed 'Boneys Baggage'; he averts his head from the humiliating spectacle; his sabre lies beside him. An odd ape-like creature squats on the extreme left. On the extreme right a fisherman, staring over his shoulder at Napoleon, is about to jump ashore or push off in his boat. In the background two boats, one with a furled lateen sail, lie against the rocky coast."--British Museum online catalogue
