The article focuses on a comprehensive reflexion on the painting showing Hanging of the Traitors in Effigie 29 Sept. 1794 (oil, Warsaw History Museum, property of National Museum, Warsaw) attributed to either Jean Pierre Norblin or Aleksander Orłowski. The painting is a unique historical testimony documenting the act of justice meted out on the leaders of the Targowica Confederation sentenced with final binding judgment of the insurgents’ tribunal to death for betraying their homeland. Since the convicts succeeded in escaping, in compliance with the valid procedures, their portraits were hanged. The painter rendered the moment of the sentence being administered: in the presence of the famous Działyński Infantry Regiment, the Capuchins seeing to the ‘convicts’, and the gathered crowd. The convicts’ portraits were placed on peasant carriages, and among them (on the first carriage) there was a portrait of Great Crown Hetman Franciszek Ksawery Branicki. The hangman is placing the effigy of Szczęsny Potocki on the gallows, underneath Seweryn Rzewuski is already awaiting his turn.
