By portraying France as his bleeding victim, the artist highlights the suffering and turmoil caused by his rule.

The juxtaposition of Napoleon III's regal attire with the menacing vulture symbolism creates a striking contrast that draws viewers into deeper reflection on history and power dynamics.
