Mirabeau arrive aux Champs-Élisées is a 1792 ink by Louis-Joseph Masquelier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a crowd of people in an outdoor setting, gathered around a man holding a scroll. Above them, a winged figure floats, holding a banner that reads *La France Libre*. Some people are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, while others look like workers or farmers. Books and tools lie scattered on the ground. The winged figure is a symbol of liberty, and the title suggests this scene celebrates a key moment in French history. The mix of ordinary people and intellectuals hints at a message about freedom for all. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like Masquelier created detailed prints.
