Meissonier "1814"
Napoleon and his staff are retuning from Soissons after the battle of Laon (this is not the retreat from Moscow as is often assumed). The "cocked hats" or "bi-corns" that you see pictured here, along with tri-corns (worn both in military and civilian life) preceded top hats as the felt hat of choice by men of means.
