About this work

This print shows a crowd of people reaching up toward a giant winged figure. The figure holds a banner that says *"An I of the Revolution"* in French. Below, a man is pulling down a statue’s head while others cheer or watch. The winged figure looks like Liberty or Freedom. The scene feels dramatic and full of energy.
