The image, beautifully colored by Jan Bulthuis, transports us back to the heart of the French Revolution. In this scene, we witness a powerful procession of Parisians marching through the streets alongside windmills and under an ominous sky. Their faces reflect both hope and defiance, embodying their unwavering commitment to change.
