Monaco issued a miniature sheet in 2022 which was designed after a painting made by Joseph Beaume, which shows us when he embarked on board the INCONSTANT in Elba on 26 February 1815. The INCONSTANT is not visible on the stamp, but only on the painting on the left.
The painting you can find in: Institution:Musée naval et napoléonien du Cap d'Antibes in Antibes
More info on the INCONSTANT is given: viewtopic.php?p=20667&hilit=INCONSTANT#p20667
