Whole artwork view. The work celebrates the birth of Napoleon's son, when Trieste still belonged to the French Empire; in the centre of the scene the bare child, the Second-to-be Napoleon, Francis Joseph Charles Bonaparte, is portrayed sitting on Earth globe, a sceptre raised up in his hand; above, a star emanates light on the scene; a lot of human figures safeguard the child; two, one of whom wearing military clothes, helmet and shield above, and among men an angel brings him a sword; on the left a woman, maybe Marie Louise of Habsburg-Lorraine, looks toward the observer.
