The Roll Call of the Last Victims of the Terror is a 1850 oil by Charles Louis Müller, a French Romanticism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a group of people standing together. They seem to be waiting for something. The scene is somber and quiet, with muted colors. The people in the painting are likely victims of the Terror, a period in French history. This event was a time of violence and fear. To learn more about this style, look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
