This is a colorful political cartoon from the early 19th century. The central figure is a man dressed in a military uniform, likely Napoleon Bonaparte, based on the style of the hat and uniform. He is depicted sniffing a long, thin object, possibly a pipe or a quill, with a somewhat exaggerated expression. He wears a red hat with a white band and a gold star, a blue uniform with gold trim and epaulettes, white breeches, and black boots. A small, circular illustration is visible to the left of Napoleon, depicting a skeleton with the text 'De Dood in my Geest' (Death in my mind). To the right of Napoleon is a grotesque, muscular devil-like creature with large wings, horns, and cloven hooves. It appears to be pushing Napoleon forward. A monkey is seated on the left, looking at Napoleon with a curious expression. The background shows a cityscape with buildings and trees, suggesting a Parisian setting. An ornate urn with a Dutch flag is also visible. The cartoon is titled 'De Nieuwe Belle Blaaser in Parys' (The New Bragger in Paris) at the bottom. The overall style is satirical and critical, likely commenting on Napoleon's actions and reputation.
