Metternich, who dominated the Congress, can be seen (standing) toward the left side of the image; he gestures toward the British Secretary of State, Viscount Robert Castlereagh, who is seated in a rather relaxed fashion in the center. Across from him sits Prussian Chancellor Karl August von Hardenberg (lower left corner). Standing behind Hardenburg is England's Duke of Wellington. On the right side of the portrait, the French diplomat Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord rests his right arm on the table. The composition emphasizes the fact that Talleyrand enjoyed an equal place at the negotiation table – this, despite the fact that he was representing a defeated France. Wilhlem von Humboldt stands second from the right. Count Rasoumoffsky, the representative of Czar Alexander I of Russia, appears near the middle of the portrait; he stands before the lower left corner of the large portrait on the wall.
The participants at the Congress of Vienna. Etching (1819) after Jean Baptiste Isabey’s group portrait, Clemens Prince von Metternich stands at the left in front of a chair, the Duke of Wellington stands at the far left, and Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord sits in front of the table to the right. Berlin, Bildarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz.
