Set in a bygone era, we witness an extraordinary encounter between nature and royalty. The image showcases a majestic king, believed to be Napoleon Bonaparte, indulging in an unusual pastime - feeding gazelles with tobacco. As he extends his hand towards the graceful creatures, their delicate heads tilt curiously, accepting this unexpected treat. The juxtaposition of the regal figure engaging with these gentle animals creates a sense of enchantment. Ford's attention to detail is evident as each element is meticulously rendered; from the intricate patterns on the king's attire to the soft expressions on the gazelles' faces.
