"The Coward Comforted" is a notable work of art by the renowned caricaturist and printmaker, James Gillray. Dated to 1802, this satirical etching is a fine example of Gillray's distinct style and reflects the political climate of its time. The work showcases Gillray's dexterity in expressing intricate human emotions through exaggerated bodily expressions and gestures.

In this print, Gillray depicts a tearful and visibly distressed Napoleon Bonaparte being comforted by an unsympathetic-looking figure, Madame de Staël, a French woman of letters. This interaction is set against the backdrop of a map showing England, with the English Channel appearing to be a considerable obstacle for Bonaparte's territorial ambitions, thus manifesting his fears and anxieties.

Through "The Coward Comforted," Gillray elucidates the juxtaposition of political power and human frailty. His nuanced depiction of Napoleon demonstrates his prowess in political satire and caricature. Over the years, this work has gained much scholarly attention and continues to be a subject of study for its historic and artistic significance.
