Fédération Générale de Français, au Champ de Mars, le 14 Juillet 1790

Antoine-Jean Duclos after Charles Monnet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a large procession from an elevated viewpoint. A crowd of people are close to us, with spectators at the edges waving and cheering. In the distance, rows of figures extend toward arches. Hills, trees, buildings, and a church are visible in the background. The etching style uses precise strokes to depict people, architecture, and nature. The color palette is sepia, giving the drawing an antiquated appearance with clear visuals.
