The reference to Charles X is incorrect. This painting was executed in 1833, three years after Charles had abdicated the throne (August 2, 1830); the Orléanist claimant to the throne, Louis-Philippe, ruled France from 1830 to 1848. Perhaps this work was originally conceived in the reign of Charles X, but it was not painted or displayed during his reign.

The article is also inaccurate in the claim that the painting is inaccurate about the setting. Royal Executions on Tower Green took place in a building that has since been since been demolished so the depiction of the scene being inside is correct.Piersmasterson (talk) 16:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
