Pierre Rosenberg and Louis-Antoine Prat questioned the subject: "Does the veiled woman on the right, which evokes many other figures drawn in the Brussels period, have anything to do with the two men on the left, whose posture could recall that of the martyrs of the Revolution, Le Peletier or Marat? In Brussels, David's drawings play a different role. Previously, they had been mainly a stage in his pictorial process, but during his exile, he drew more and more accomplished scenes and highly expressive figures.
