Summary:"Marie Louise shrinks in terror from her baby son, seated on her knee, who threatens her with a dagger. In his left hand is the orb which he seems about to hurl at her. He wears a cocked hat and has the features of his father in profile to the left. Napoleon draws aside a curtain (right); his profile (to the right), expression, and cocked hat resemble those of his son, as in British Museum Satires No. 11719. The Empress: "There's no Condition sure so curst as mine--Day and Night to dandle such a Dragon--The little Angry Cur snarls while it feeds--See how the Blood is settled in his Scarecrow Face--what brutal mischief sits upon his Brow--Rage and Vengeance sparkle in his Cheeks--the very spawn and spit of its Tyrant Father--Nay now I look again he is the very Picture of his Grandfather the Devil". In her alarm she kicks over a child's commode (right); a saucepan and spoon lie on the floor. On the extreme left appears the head of a mitred bishop (probably Fesch), who raises an arm, as if from the floor or below it, holding up to the Empress a goblet inscribed 'Composing Draught'. Beside him, a sinister face, behind the Empress's chair, looks up to say: "Send him to his Grand Pappa as quick as possible"."--British Museum online catalogue.
