About the piece
This poignant late 18th-century painting by an anonymous artist captures the dramatic moment of Louis XVI's final adieus to his family on January 20, 1793. The composition uses a somber, earth-toned palette and expressive brushwork to emphasize the emotional weight of the scene, portraying the family members in various states of grief and prayer.
