About this work

This oil study, attributed to Benjamin West and dated 1799, shows a wounded, half-nude man falling back in the arms of a dark-clad companion while armored soldiers raise a sword above. Red drapery and the expressive faces of the onlookers frame the dramatic, classical-style death scene.
