Dominique-Jean Larrey BUT the 🐈‍⬛

（I've always thought he'd be perfect as a black cat）

When I was in Paris I visited the museum of the Army Health Services and had the absolute privilege of marveling at the ugly (sorry) hat Larrey wore during the the Russian retreat.

So anyway, the temptation was too strong and I had to draw him in it

Also have bonus portrait

Lost motivation while drawing Larrey so sketched a little version of him instead

Dominique Jean Larrey, 1804

He was a French surgeon and military doctor during the Napoleonic Wars. He accompanied Napoleon on almost all of his campaigns. Napoleon called him “the most virtuous man I have ever known.”

Among his many innovations include introducing field hospitals, ambulance services, and first-aid practices to the battlefield. He was also the first to note the contagiousness of trachoma (1802) and published the first description of trench foot (1812).

Napoleon would say this of Larrey: “If the Army were to erect a monument of the memory of any one man, it should be that of Larrey. All the wounded are his family.”

My Napoleon keeps running from my Larrey.

I did give my larrey a notebook and some surgical tools for entertainment (as any good owner should), but now my Napoleon won’t go near him.

What do i do? I don’t want to have to get rid of one of them. I love them both too much. 😓

Napoleons usually get along well with Larreys l, this is puzzling! I can only suspect that your Napoleon may have gotten an injury, perhaps at a Toulon, where his leg was almost amputated, and now he fears that doctors are looking for an excuse to amputate his leg.

Soothe your Napoleon and tell him it’s very unlikely that anyone will just chop off his leg for like, the sport of it. And perhaps give your Larreys some creatures to use his surgical kit on that aren’t your Napoleon, so he doesn’t feel tempted!

Nope this helps!

Theres a manila Envelope on his doorstep. Inside is a small letter and some sheet music. Marshal, I do apologize for the late welcome. Some... unexpected things came up. If you are ever wounded or in need of anything, please let me know. And if you are in need of a warm beverage and someone to talk to, my door is always open. - @trauma-and-truffles

P.S: Happy Birthday. In the envelope is some music for violin that my assistant put together. as I am not very good with music

Saint-Cyr's eyes glance over the sheet music, a small smile twitching at his lips.

Bonjour à vous, cher Docteur;

It is good to hear from you, although I am alarmed that the afterlife is apparently still in need of medical care. Is it so busy here that your services are still needed? Nevertheless, I am sure everyone is in good hands with you.

Please pass my gratitude along to your assistant. This is a most stirring melody. Thank you.
