| La Liberté guidant le peuple (Liberty Leading the People) by Eugène Delacroix, 1830 (SOURCE: https://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/rschwart/hist255/la/bigliberty.jpg) |
The painting is a commemoration of the 1830 French Revolution lead by the workers who made the dethroning of Charles X possible, bringing Louis-Philippe "Citizen King" as the new king.
The woman in the painting symbolizes value of Liberty, holding the French Revolution flag (which was turned into the country's flag by Louis-Philippe) in once hand and a musket in the other.
