- Abstract
- A large Cossack grins broadly and drops his oversized fur trimmed cap over tiny Napoleon. This comical encounter is situated on a hill top. Located at the base of a mountain range, the town of Leipzig frames the distant horizon. The middle distance of the sheet is occupied by Russian soldiers who march across the large plain separated from the town by a wide channel. Although the Russian army is credited with defeating the French imperial troops, here the Russian is caricatured as a grinning barbarian; the hair on his face and head is wild and he carries a spear in addition to his guns and his sword.
