About the Work
Curationist Object DescriptionThis satirical print, published during the French Revolution, depicts the royal family with human heads and pig bodies, being herded back to Versailles after their failed escape to Montmédy in 1791. The work mocks their return by placing them in a barnyard scene, visually stripping them of their sovereignty and associating them with gluttony, impurity, and domestication.
