As a result of the French Revolution, the freedom of the people against royalism was a dominant theme, especially since Louis XVIII ruled the country after the fall of Napoleon I from 1814 to 1824.
Two hundred years later, Marianne is back. Not this time to conquer the freedom of the people. She is fleeing the wave of ??? that is threatening her. It seems as if she is already leaving the field, a chessboard, resigned, while the strongest animal in the world tries in vain to stop the disaster. She saves the last piece of jewellery she wears on her foot: a ring with a lapis lazuli.
