Summary
This drawing refers to the revolutionary origins of Napoleon's power. Napoleon, in an elegant white-and-gold costume, prods a pile of garbage with his sword underneath an effigy of himself. He doesn't notice, intent on finding his crown. A lamplighter in rags is kneeling nearby, and all the revolutionary symbols and archetypes are nearby. The drawing symbolizes the revolutionary origins of his rise to power.Reference source: Clerc #83.
