The painting depicts a woman standing over two dead or unconscious bodies. The woman wears a white dress and a red headscarf. She holds a long spear-like object in her right hand, which is raised above her head. Her left hand holds the hand of one of the bodies. The bodies are on the ground, one on their back and one on their side. The body on their back lies on a red cloth. The background is dark and shadowy. The artist's signature appears at the bottom right. The title is "Liberty" and the artist is Jean-François Millet.
