This print showcases the historic moment of Monsieur de Malesherbes delivering his impassioned defence speech during the trial of King Louis XVI. The coloured engraving beautifully captures the intensity and gravity of this pivotal event in French history. Monsieur de Malesherbes, a renowned lawyer and statesman, stands tall with confidence as he pleads for justice on behalf of the defendant. His portrait exudes determination and conviction, reflecting his unwavering commitment to defending King Louis XVI against grave accusations. The image transports us back to 26th December 1792, a time when France was embroiled in revolutionary fervor. In this courtroom scene, we witness not only a legal battle but also an ideological clash between monarchy and republicanism.

This artwork serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that encapsulates the spirit of the French Revolution. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the immense courage displayed by those who dared challenge prevailing ideologies during tumultuous times.
