François Marie Isidore Queverdo's "Personificatie van Frankrijk (Marianne) voor een legerkamp" (1793-1795) is an etching depicting the allegorical figure of Marianne, the personification of France, seated on a column with a flag. Behind her is a scene of a French military camp. The image was commissioned by the Committee of Public Safety (Comité de Salut Public), the governing body during the French Revolution. This etching offers a visual representation of the revolutionary ideals of liberty and unity, as symbolized by Marianne and the inscription "République Française une et indivisible." The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a significant historical artifact of the French Revolution.
