What are the most and least flattering physical descriptions of Marmont?

Hey!

Thanks alot for the question....now physical descriptions of Marmont are very few/nonexistent. So finding any description was difficult but the one I did find was mostly positive!

Together with two other generals, he defends Napoleon's retreat all the way to Paris. In March 1814, he offered a tough resistance in the very suburbs of Paris. Here is how Sainte-Beuve evokes him in the skirmish near Belleville at the head of the remnants of the former Grand Army: »And finally, let's show him in this last venture when we saw him at the head of a group of about sixty men repulsing the Russian column. Let's remember that his right hand was weak since the battle of Arapilès, that the thumb and forefinger of his left hand were crushed at Leipzig. That's how he looked on his feet, because the horse under him was hit once again (the fifth horse since the start of the battle). He always went into battle standing tall, with his head held high, his chest/breasts and heart proudly protruding. Let's add to that his warrior demeanor and his unique uniform: a tailcoat without laces, a hat with white feathers, always white trousers and sturdy high riding boots. We saw him like this on the way back to Paris, covered in dust, still trembling from the excitement of the battle. And he was only forty years old at that time.<<<

After 1812. he had his right hand always in a sling and was extremely wounded on his right side (he was hit by a cannonball 😢)

Here are some of the only full body photos of this asshole 😭
