Beeld door J. Hughes, voorstellend Bailly legt de eed op de Kaatsbaan af c. 1875 - 1900

This photograph, created sometime between 1875 and 1900 by an unknown artist, depicts a sculpture titled "Beeld door J. Hughes, voorstellend Bailly legt de eed op de Kaatsbaan af," which translates to "Sculpture by J. Hughes, depicting Bailly taking the oath on the Tennis Court." The sculpture features three figures, likely depicting a historical event related to the French Revolution. The scene captures a moment of tension and drama, with the central figure, presumably Bailly, raising his hand in a powerful oath. The other two figures, perhaps representing other revolutionaries, contribute to the sense of a crucial moment in history. The inscription "1789" at the base of the sculpture confirms its historical context. This artwork provides a glimpse into the artistic representation of pivotal historical events during a period of significant societal change.
