The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, painted
by the artist Le Barbier in 1790. The figure on the right represents France.
The figure on the left symbolises the law.
This is one of the rare paintings by a woman artist. The
revolutionary events made it possible for women to train with established
painters and to exhibit their works in the Salon, which was an exhibition held
every two years.
The painting is a female allegory of liberty?that is, the
female form symbolises the idea of freedom.
This print is one of the many pictorial representations of
the events of 5th October, 1789, when women marched to Versailles and brought
the king back with them to Paris.

In 1793, the jacobin politician Chaumette sought to
justify the closure of women's clubs on the following grounds:
Has Nature entrusted domestic duties to men? Has she given
us breasts to nurture babies? No.
She said to Man: Be a man. Hunting, agriculture, political
duties... that is your kingdom.
She said to Woman: Be a woman... the things of the
household, the sweet duties of motherhood ... those are your tasks.
Shameless are those women, who wish to become men. Have
not duties been fairly distributed?
The Emancipation of Slaves this print of 1794 describes the
emancipation of slaves. The tricolour banner on top carries the slogan: The
rights of man'. The inscription below reads: The freedom of the un free'. A
French woman prepares to 'civilise', the African and American Indian slaves by
giving them European clothes to wear.
