A gal with no bra and a dead guy on the ground with no pants or underwear..........that’s weird.
And two guys staring at her boobs while she shouts “You pigs! Watch for the enemy, not me!!”
And the guy has on only one sock!
Blown out of his pantaloons? That is weird.
wiki: “Paris, 1789. Henri Weiner was enjoying a sponge bath from a buxom mademoiselle and became a little frisky, ripping her bodice. All hell broke loose and the rest is history.”
They got caught?
Non, mon ami, c'est tres Francais (No, my friend, it's very French...)

Deplorable.
Late in the US Civil War, it wasn’t unheard of to “borrow” clothing from recently deceased soldiers, if it was better than their own. They had gotten pretty threadbare, especially Confederates. Shoes and boots in particular were a problem. Maybe that’s an explanation.
It is weird to see a body with no pants on to modern western eyes but in those times cloth was a luxury and many poor people eaked out a living as rag pickets. Also, if your clothes were rags nice pants and a body killed in combat not dead from disease would be a good get. I don’t know if most people went “commando” in those days.
Bill Clinton finally chose the wrong victim.
No, it's just Bill Clinton's Great-Great-Grandfather.
I have seen this painting countless times and I have to confess that I never noticed the dead guy without the pants until now. Wow.
The painting is a masterpiece with many allegorical symbols of the moment when a tyrannical king drove the people of affluent, middle, and lower classes to anarchy.
The naked woman carrying the flag of revolution (today the national flag of France) is a symbol of liberty stripped bare to reveal that which nurses infants of revolt but which also carries a rifle, and is looking aside to the people that follow.
The painter himself is depicted in the top hat.
The dead and naked soldiers at the base of the pyramid design depict the soldiers of the last Bourbon King left dying and naked in shame.
