Brief behorend bij takje van een vrijheidsboom 1795

This anonymous artwork from 1795, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a simple, yet historically significant piece. While the artwork itself is a blank sheet of paper, it's accompanied by a small, torn note that reads "takje van de vrijheidsboom" (twig from the tree of liberty). This note suggests that the artwork is a remnant from the French Revolution, where the "Tree of Liberty" was a symbol of revolutionary ideals and the overthrow of the monarchy. This artwork represents a crucial point in history, serving as a tangible reminder of the powerful symbolism of the French Revolution.
