The print titled "NAPOLEON IN THE PRISON OF NICE, 1794" is a historical steel engraving created in 1879, based on an original work by the British artist Edward Matthew Ward. The engraving was executed by Outrim. The scene depicts a young Napoleon Bonaparte during his imprisonment in Nice in 1794, following his involvement in the political turmoil of the French Revolution. Napoleon is shown seated at a small table, deeply engrossed in writing, with papers and books scattered around him, suggesting he is planning or reflecting on his future strategies. Two guards stand watchfully in the background, emphasizing his captivity. The print captures a moment of quiet determination and intellectual focus amidst adversity. The text on the print indicates that it is "FROM THE PICTURE IN THE COLLECTION OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON," highlighting its historical significance and notable provenance. Edward Matthew Ward was known for his historical and genre paintings, and this engraving showcases his ability to portray pivotal moments in history with detailed realism.
