montagnarde1793I'm presently vastly amused. I don't know if any of you are familiar with Le Sueur's drawing of Capet's execution, but if you're not, you're fortunately about to become familiar with it, because here it is:
I know it's not a very good scan, but do observe that there are indeed two men kissing in the foreground, which I have circled in red so that you might more easily be able to locate them.
I found a mention of the drawing in this book, which on page 74 provides some interesting elaboration on the subject and its portrayal.
That's unfortunately all for the present, but I hope you found it sufficiently enlightening. ;D
