Bonaparte giving his last orders when quitting the field of battle. He is near La Belle Alliance, in his rear and occupying all the horizon, is the British Army advancing, with the Prussians appearing on the left. In the centre, near Napoleon, is a conflict between the Life Guards and Cuirassiers; on his right is the great mass of French troops in confusion and flight. Two columns of English Hussars are in pursuit and attack. Near the foreground on the Emperor's right is Marshal Ney, endeavouring to check and rally the fugitives. The Duke of Wellington is at the centre of the British line; in rear is La Haye Sainte, the Mill at Mount St Jean, and the Church at Waterloo.
