This intaglio print by Jazet from 1830 depicts the death of Napoleon Bonaparte in his bedchamber on the island of St Helena. The scene shows Napoleon lying in bed, surrounded by mourners, including his loyal physician, and his grieving wife, Marie Louise. The print is after a painting by Baron Steuben, and it captures the somber mood of this historic moment.
