About this work

You see two men talking in this lithograph. The man on the left holds a scroll with "A Liberté" on it. He's dressed differently from the man on the right, which shows the contrast between liberty and aristocracy. This contrast is interesting because it reflects the societal themes of the 18th century, and to learn more about this style, look up the technique: lithography.
