iconographic description:
next to the composition, the duke of joinville, the duke of orléans, louis-philippe and léopold i of belgium are seated on armchairs. The armrests of that of the king of the french are in the shape of soult's head. One of the feet of léopold's is shaped like talleyrand's club foot. They observe the spectacle offered by lobau, who holds in his hands leashes connected to dancing men. This is a parody of the small review that the government organized to replace the large review of the national guard which could not take place. The pl. Also makes fun of this entertainment offered by the french monarchy to leopold. Indeed, it is very little consolation compared to the dowry he expects from his father-in-law (léopold married louis-philippe's daughter, louise d'orléans, on august 9, 1832, and a dowry was promised to him). Person / character depicted:
soult, nicolas-jean de dieu; louis-philippe i, king of the french; mouton, georges, count of lobau; orléans, ferdinand-philippe d', duke; orléans, françois ferdinand philippe d', prince of joinville; leopold i, king of the belgians
