The expressive means of painting and the treatment of a historical event are close to the work of Antonín Petter or Josef Mathauser, for example. The scene respects the event as described by Palacký: "Here, all faint, no longer able to control his senses, he is attacked by several brutal soldiers, who, throwing a rope around his neck, drag him on; to take away his precious helmet, they smash it on his head and tear off all his clothes."
