Reproduction of an illustration by Karl von Piloty depicting a prisoner standing before a large wooden gallows surrounded by a large crowd. A man sits with his legs stretched out to one side at the prisoner's feet and holds on to one of his legs, as he raises a hand towards the crowd. Two men stand atop ladders leaning against the gallows, as one holds a rope in his hands about to throw it over the top.
