Louise Michel onder baldakijn 1896 - 1935

This woodcut print, "Louise Michel onder baldakijn," created between 1896 and 1935 by Dutch artist Mathieu Lauweriks, depicts Louise Michel, a French revolutionary socialist and feminist, seated on a throne with a stylized bird in her hand. Michel holds a staff with the word "Vryheid" (Dutch for "Freedom") inscribed, emphasizing her role as a champion of liberation. The print’s bold, geometric forms and its black and white color palette are characteristic of Lauweriks's Art Nouveau style.
