- Abstract
-
"One of the Directory, stripped to the waist, is chained by the wrists to a post inscribed 'Tree of Liberty' and surmounted by a bonnet-rouge (cf. BMSat 9214, &c). Suvóroff holds him by the hair and ferociously raises a whip to strike. He wears a fur-bordered cap (with skull and cross-bones as in BMSat 9387), tunic, cloak, and boots, and says: "This is the new Dance a la Carmagnole!" The other four Directors (see BMSat 9387), full-face, but looking sideways in horror at the Russian, wait their turn; one (left) kneels in supplication. They wear their official dress (see BMSat 9199); the cloak and hat of the victim are on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue
