La République Française

Monogrammist G.H. after Pierre Paul Prud'hon

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a figure standing upright. The individual holds a staff with a sculpted hand at the top in the left hand and a small pyramid with the word "EGALITÉ" inscribed on it in the right hand. The figure has classical facial features with a prominent nose, short curly hair bound with a headband, and a focused expression. They wear a short, draped tunic cinched at the waist with a belt, sandals with straps, and their ankles are chained to a rectangular wooden platform. The background is a plain surface.
