Bonaparte Visiting the Plague-Stricken at Jaffa, Aquatint after Gros

A sepia-toned aquatint of a colonnaded courtyard with arched openings, where a uniformed officer in a dark coat and hat stands centre among turbaned and robed figures. Many figures lie or sit on the ground in distress, and a burning city and minaret appear beyond the walls. The inscription below reads 'Le Général en Chef Bonaparte visite à Jaffa les pestiférés.'
