Represantant d'une grande nation, engraving 1799, a grotesque monster, nude and hairy, representing the Constitution of the Year III, stands against the trunk of L'Arbre de Liberty (right) with upraised hands. The tree, Embleme de l'Arbre de Connoissance, has withered branches in which fantastic serpents are twined. One of these, having a human head and arms...is evidently Talleyrand
