12 JUILLET, 1793 | JACQUES-LOUIS DAVID | 2021

Inside…
A quiet study in green and brown.
A carefully composed tranquility, a scene of domestic peace and order.
A waiting bath. Meticulously folded sheets, under which an improvised wooden board forms a writing desk.
An ink bottle and quill laid out, ready to use, perched atop an old crate.
One can imagine a writer in the soothing bath.
We take note of the date.
We recognise the famous signature.

Outside…
There is revolution in the air.

What is it, this 12 Juillet, 1793?
