Black and white etching of a large crowd gathered around men on a strappado. The strappado is in the center, tall with a pulley system at the top, with ropes hanging down. Two men are suspended in the air by the device. The crowd is dense and made up of men and women, some on horseback. Many are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, with some wearing hats. In the background, there are several buildings, including a church with a steeple. The sky appears overcast. The scene is bordered by a thin line, with text written in French along the bottom.
