La liberté guidant le peuple


Postcard of painting La liberté guidant le peuple (Liberty Leading the People) by Eugène Delacroix. Painting is a reminder of the July Revolution in 1830, which toppled Charles X.
A woman personifying Liberty leads the people forward over the bodies of the fallen, holding the tricolore flag of the French Revolution in one hand and brandishing a bayonetted musket with the other.
Trade with Miceu.
