Description
The Exodus from Mesolonghi is depicted as seen by an observer within the walls. The work is indicative of the artist's concern for originality in the rendering of this famous historic subject, but the summary depiction of the figures and treatment of the colours, which are not consistent with the knowledge he possessed, prompt the thought that the picture is probably unfinished.
