    Iconography

    Description

    Au premier plan un prisonnier vu de dos, le buste nu, a les bras attachés derrière lui. Deux femmes sont en train de le libérer de ses liens alors qu’une foule les attire et manifeste sa joie en levant leurs bras. Au centre, un arbre majestueux déploie ses branches chargés de fruits rouges symbolisant la force et l’énergie retrouvée. En bas à droite, une femme portant son enfant sur son sein regarde le spectateur avec intensité et crainte.
