"The French Consular Triumvirate, Settling The New Constitution, with A Peep At The Constitutional-pigeon-holes Of The Abbe Sieyes in The Background" is a satirical etching by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1800. This work is a vivid example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to encapsulate complex political scenarios through his art. The etching portrays the political dynamics of post-revolutionary France, specifically focusing on the establishment of the French Consulate following the coup of 18 Brumaire, which brought Napoleon Bonaparte to power.

In the foreground, the triumvirate of Napoleon Bonaparte, Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès, and Roger Ducos is depicted as they deliberate over the new constitution. Gillray's portrayal is both humorous and critical, emphasizing the perceived absurdity and opportunism of the political maneuvering. Napoleon, who would soon become the dominant figure in French politics, is shown with a commanding presence, hinting at his future role as Emperor.

The background features the "constitutional-pigeon-holes" of Abbé Sieyès, a reference to Sieyès' numerous constitutional drafts and his reputation as a political theorist. Gillray uses this imagery to mock the convoluted and often impractical nature of Sieyès' proposals. The etching is rich in symbolic detail, with each element serving to critique the instability and opportunism of the political landscape in France at the time.

Gillray's work is not only a piece of political commentary but also a reflection of the anxieties and attitudes of contemporary British society towards the events unfolding in France. His ability to blend humor with incisive critique makes this etching a significant historical document, offering insights into the political climate of the early 19th century. As with many of Gillray's works, it remains a valuable resource for understanding the interplay between art, politics, and society during this tumultuous period.
