About the piece
This compelling work by Jean-Emmanuel van den Bussche depicts the famous artist Jacques-Louis David sketching Marie-Antoinette as she is led to her execution. Surrounded by onlookers with expressions ranging from somber reflection to intense curiosity, the composition captures a pivotal moment of the French Revolution where art and history intersect.
