A Corsican Toad Under a Harrow — Rudolph Ackermann, London|Thomas Rowlandson|Napoléon Bonaparte

Napoleon lies on his face under the sharp teeth of a harrow. Representatives of three nations tug at the two ropes attached to it. A portly Dutchman sits atop the harrow, and a Russian pokes him with a stick at right.
