Il voudrait abbattre ce qui les soutient. Si vous avez peur des Feuilles n'attaquez pas le Corp de l'Arbre; Le Pied est bon mais la Cime n'est pas de meme; La multitude des Branches derange leur ambition.

Descripción

Single sheet, etching and aquatint in brown ink, (312 x 430 mm) platemark; a fine etching in three sections. A visual satire on the remonstrances against abuses. The print shows, on the far left, Louis XVI sitting on a throne on a raised pedestal with Necker at the base, holding balance scales and appealing for justice. In the centre, the clergy, the parliament, and the nobility are attempting to pull over a tree filled with members of the Third Estate; Necker stands at the base supporting the tree. On the far right, Louis XVI and Jacques Necker are helping a female figure, representing France, to her feet. The 'tree' of the Third Estate is attacked by assorted clergy and aristocrats, who attempt to pull it down with ropes, but supported by Necker and the King. de Vinck, 1381; OCLC: Library of Congress; Stanford, Bibliothèque Nationale. N° de ref. del artículo 4281
