Description: | Henri Boutet
image: Marianne, three-quarter length in profile advancing from left to right. Wearing the Phrygian bonnet, her right
cheek cut and bleeding, she yells the title. Her classical dress is in disarray, exposing part of her right breast. Her withdrawn right
hand holds a short Gallic sword, her upraised left clutches the folds of the Tricolour midway around its pole.
The figure is a derivation of the relief on the Arc de Triomphe by Francois Rude: also the figure from 'On les aura',
the 1916 poster by Jean Abel Faivre.
