There has been fighting now for three days, the people have been victorious by uniting in their common cause for their liberty. Many of my friends fought in the conflict, but I myself did not. I was busy protecting the collections in the Louvre from looters and the rioters, and now everything is safe.

In the middle will stand Liberty or Marianne as we call her, who is the personification of freedom for us Frenchmen. She will hold our beloved tricolor aloft as the symbol of democracy.
My name is Delacroix. I am a painter in Paris and was born on 26th April 1798. My painting of Liberty Leading the People was painted in 1830 and exhibited at the salon in 1831.
