The image depicts Jean du Barry, seigneur de La Renaudie, a prominent French Huguenot leader who was involved in a plot against the Guise faction. Unfortunately, La Renaudie met his demise during a fierce confrontation with their partisans.

The intricate details and dramatic composition of the artwork bring to life the chaos and violence of that fateful day.
