France in the guise of a crowned woman, holding the lictor beam at her feet, and swearing an oath on the Constitution placed on an inscribed altar. Behind the altar, Liberty, holding a flag surmounted by a Phrygian cap; to the left of the altar, Felicity seated on the left, holding a winged caduceus, her cornucopia at her side. In the air, Truth dispels the darkness of error and directs her light towards the book of the Constitution. Behind, the crowd on the Champ de Mars. Exergue caption with date.
