Tennis Court Oath
“A bare indoor tennis court in Versailles, June 20, 1789. The Third Estate's deputies raise their hands together in oath. Foreground shows Bailly atop a small table, hand high, ink and parchment laid out; midground reveals Mirabeau and Robespierre amid a throng of black-coated bourgeois; sunlight streams through skylights onto plain plaster walls.”
