Sculptuur door Jean Gautherin, voorstellend een personificatie van de Franse republiek before 1879

This bust, created by Charles Michelez before 1879, depicts a personification of the French Republic. The sculpture is a realistic representation of a woman wearing a helmet, a symbol of power and strength, and a flowing garment, representing the ideals of freedom and democracy. The bust, which is part of the neoclassical movement, likely served as a symbol of French national identity and pride, reflecting the political and social climate of the time.
