Describe the picture in your own words. What are the images that the artist has used to communicate the following ideas: greed, equality, justice, takeover by the state of the assets of the Church?

Answer:

Greed is symbolized by the fat clergyman on the left. The two men accompanying him symbolise government officials who have taken over the assets of the Church. The fat reducing press in the middle symbolises justice. The man and woman on the right symbolise equality. The whole picture depicts what the revolution stood for.
