The artwork

The consul Cicero denounces Catiline before the entire Senate. Catiline had plotted a conspiracy against Cicero himself and the entire Res Publica, delivering the Oratio in Catilinam Prima in Senatu Habita, or First Catilinarian Speech.

Catiline is in the foreground, seemingly an outsider, at a safe distance from Cicero, listening contemptuously to his adversary and meditating on his misdeeds. Catiline's hands almost seem to dig like claws into the folds of his toga. While Cicero attacks Catiline, the other senators, who listen in awe as Cicero accuses Catiline (that he conspired against the Roman Republic and hired assassins to kill him), have already left the seat of the rebel, who remained completely apart from the rest of the assembly and sat hunched over.

Most of the senators listen and gaze intently at Cicero, while a few others (those higher up, near Catiline's seat) gaze at the accused with a shocked expression and chatter among themselves. Furthermore, the light illuminating Cicero is warm and dazzling, while Catiline appears to be in the shadow.
