The mimicking of Napoleon's expression did not work out perfectly, which is fine, as I would not be able to mimic his character. Not that, by now, I would want to. I am sure a number of ambitious artists share some of his characteristics, and so will many other ambitious people. And many younger people, I should think, would crave the attitude and strength that makes one able to turn the world upside down. To make my own world was my fascination.
The mimicking itself was the point. Nevetheless: I cheated with the means a photo-artist has: my tongue is Napoleon's
