Covering her face with a veil, she seems frightened by the scene. Putting a hand on the lifeless body of the emperor lying on the ground, on an animal skin, the murderer turns to her with an air interrogator.

Sketch very accomplished or replica for the private market, "The Death of the Emperor Commodus" is a faithful copy of the great painting exhibited at the Salon of 1879. The evocation of the tragic end but trivial from the emperor, despot murdered on order his mistress Marcia, can be interpreted in the context of consolidation of the republican regime, as a denunciation of the impasses of autocracy Roman.
