this is a painting by jeanléon gérôme titled "pollice verso", depicting a scene in a roman amphitheater. two gladiators are in the arena, one standing victorious over a defeated opponent who lies on the ground. the victor wears golden armor and a helmet, holding a sword and a shield. the defeated gladiator lies prone, awaiting his fate. the crowd of spectators in the stands is watching the scene intently, some with their thumbs down, signaling for the victorious gladiator to kill his opponent. there is another dead gladiator lying off to the left, in the distance. the painting captures the brutal and violent nature of gladiatorial combat in ancient rome.
