Mirabeau arrive aux Champs-Élisées

Louis-Joseph Masquelier after Jean-Michel Moreau

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of people in a wooded landscape. The scene shows individuals in historical attire surrounded by lush trees and bushes. In the foreground, a figure is seated on a bench alongside a small lyre. Nearby, a small figure can be seen holding what appears to be a laurel wreath. The setting suggests a picturesque glade with a body of water being navigated by a boatman. The intricate detailing of foliage in the trees, the clothing, and the expressions of the figures convey a sense of movement and commemoration.
