DescriptionA stone tomb is surrounded by jagged rocks, plants, and bushes. A weeping willow arches overhead. Two trees are in the right background. The trunk of a third tree, cut off shortly above the ground, is between the other two. The negative space between the trees forms the silhouette of Napoleon, standing, with his arms crossed. The ocean is in the background. The entire composition is in a circle within a square.
