To the left, Napoleon rides the Devil and Death to the moon. To the left front, an astrologer watches this spectacle through a telescope, next to him a farmer and an accountant calculating the costs of Napoleon's Hundred Days. To the right front, the belongings left by Napoleon at the Castle of Laeken, including a Jewish buyer or appraiser. To the right rear, chaos in the French parliament; to the left rear, the armies and commanders of the Allies. With multiple inscriptions in the image; in the caption, the legend 1-13.
