- Abstract
-
"Tierney (right), directed to the left, stands on a scaffold beside a guillotine, on which his right hand rests. He wears a round hat with a red feather and small tricolour cockade, a black cloak, below which appear his own striped stockings and half-boots. The blade of the guillotine is raised; it drips blood, as does the aperture for the victim's neck. Behind, the heads of a crowd, all wearing the bonnet-rouge, look up at the scaffold. On the right is a house."--British Museum online catalogue.
