The Affectionate Farewell, or Kick for Kick
Not on view
Napoleon stands next to a gibbet that reads: "The Isle of Elba." He says "Votre tres humbler Serviteur Monsieur Tally." Next to him Tallyrand aims a violent kick and swings his cane, holdings a paper marked: "Abdication of the last dying speech of a murderer who is to be de[liv]ered into the hands of the Devil the first fair wind" and saying: "Va t'en Coquin. I'll crack your Crown you pitiful Vagabond." Behind are the victims of the many French campaigns, a line of men on crutches.
