William Luson Thomas, 1863 - La Toilette des Morts, fromIllustrated London News - fine art print

Original artwork specifications as provided by the museum (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Charlotte Corday, who murdered the Jacobin Jean-Marie Marat, is seen here imprisoned in the Conciergerie (a medieval palace in Paris) awaiting execution. An artist who has just finished her portrait packs away his paints, and a jailor who wears a Cap of Liberty cuts Charlotte's hair to prepare her for the guillotine. The print is based on a painting shown at the Royal Academy in 1863 titled "Charlotte Corday–Her last toilette before her execution." The image offers a grim variation on a woman's dressing ritual, with the jailor replacing a hairdresser, and the canvas taking the place of a mirror.
