Cabaret scene with trophy from the Battle of Waterloo, Frans Vervloet, 1816

In the center, a man is about to sit down to tell his story. To the right of the composition, an english officer is seated with a few friends. In the background on the left, an english hussar empties a pint. And yet in a corner of the room, in the foreground on the left of the composition, remains of a uniform attract attention. We can recognize a dragon helmet, an infantry shako or even a polish lancer's flame, vestiges of the grande armée defeated a few months earlier. Object Type: painting. Date: 1816.
