The three orders of St Petersburgh

Description

Abstract:
British Museum Catalogue: 'The Tsar, tall and well-made...hurries forward, his ribbon and coat-tails fluttering. He wears a crown inscribed Disorder, in his right hand is a paper: Order, in his left one inscribed Counter Order. A satire on the uncertainty as to the intentions of Paul I in relation to the Coalition and military operations. In December, exasperated by the failture of the Anglo-Russian attack on Holland (after the miscarriage of Suvoroff's campaign), he wrote to Vorontzoff in London that he intended to abandon the Coalition and recall his troops, which were, however, to be left in their present quarters for possible use against France in the spring.'
