About this work

Satirical print on Louis Marie de la Révellière-Lépeaux, who, as a pharmacist, tries to cure the exhausted and sick French generals with self-brewed remedies. Against the back wall stand mummies, and a stuffed crocodile hangs from the ceiling. De la Révellière-Lépeaux was a prominent member of the Directory.
