I've removed the phrase claiming that the tableau is on permanent display at Tussaud's, since that wasn't the case when I was there on Dec 26 last year (which suggests it's not permanent). Everything I can find online about it goes as far as to say that the tableau was produced and was displayed at some point, but not permanently.

I don't know if the interpretation of this painting as stated in this article is the universally accepted one, but I don't agree that the interrogators are depicted sympathetically. To my eye, they appear more to be bullies. Admittedly their body language is subtle and quite open to interpretation. The guard behind the girl can be seen as preparing to push her forward for interrogation. If one looks closely, the guard's arm is poised in a position typical of someone about to move the arm forward in a thrust. It is not resting around her shoulders as one might ordinarily expect of a comforting gesture. My interpretation of this picture is that it is meant to convey a subtly menacing theme. 174.89.81.76 (talk) 04:27, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Subtly menacing with more than a touch of insincerity in the questioner's expression. The other Parliamentarian figures look impassive, certainly indifferent to the girl's and the women's suffering; their sole interest is in the boy's response, even the one supposedly comforting the crying girl. I don't think this should be presented in Wikipedia's voice as if it's authoritative. WP Ludicer (talk) 19:18, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
