An oil painting of a palace courtyard. Napoleon, in a dark coat and white breeches, stands at the centre among officers in dress uniform; an officer beside him spreads his arms toward him. Behind them a soldier holds up a tricolour flag on a staff, and ranks of grenadiers in bearskin caps fill the background. At the left a soldier wipes his eyes; a hat lies on the ground in front of Napoleon.
