This print by Charles Francois Gabriel Levachez, created between 1794 and 1818, depicts Nicolas de Condorcet in a round portrait above a scene of his death in prison.

The scene below depicts his final moments as a prisoner, possibly referring to his suicide in 1794. This artwork serves as a reminder of Condorcet's life and untimely death during a turbulent time in French history.
