Théo Guignard, Illustrator, Paris

Description

This digital illustration by Paris-based illustrator Theo Guignard depicts a historical execution scene on a wooden scaffold. A masked executioner stands with a large double-bladed axe raised above a bound prisoner kneeling at a wooden block. A dense crowd of onlookers fills the background beneath a stone castle wall and tower. The artistic style features bold clean outlines and flat color fills with a retro palette. The composition uses a high angle to capture both the central figures on the platform and the varied expressions of the surrounding spectators.
