French school of the end of the 18th century.... Lot 46

French school of the end of the 18th century. "Large allegorical scene during the French Revolution." Painted panel (cracked halfway up, all the way through, restorations). 64 x 91 cm. It seems that this panel could be an allegory of life, with children on the right, a man walking on the arms of a woman in the middle, and on the left, a man in chains and a grave. Some of the inscriptions are missing. The scene of a soldier in front of the grave is captioned "O venerable and magnanimous old man if from the earth where your pike-perch rests you could penetrate to us."
