The Hanging from the 'Miseries and Misfortunes of War' series Art Print by Claude Callot

Not sure of the date this was executed but it reminds me of the Monmouth Rebellion so I am going to tag it thus

    Interesting. This paining looks like it is inspired and strongly influenced by his uncle Jacques' 1631 drawing, "The Hanging."
