Catalogue Note
"Sans jamais y être acteur, Carpeaux est curieux de ces réunions politiques. Cette scène où un personnage au centre, essaie de se faire entendre, lève les bras, entouré d'une foule gesticulante et hurlante... a le souffle héroïque de certaines oeuvres de Delacroix"(Cf. Claude Jeancolas, Carpeaux, la farouche volonté d'être, Lausanne 1987, p.161).
