Achilles arose from his grave and demanded that Polyxena, the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, be slain on his tomb in order to join him in the afterlife. Behind a blindfolded Polyxena who awaits her fate on a sacrificial altar in this image, Achilles appears in warrior\u2019s garb on a rearing horse. Gerard De Lairesse\u2019s figures are firmly modeled, and the space clearly defined with classical architecture, and reflect his interest in French art of the same period.",
