As an official painter for France's protectorate in Tahiti, he skillfully captures both the beauty and tension present in this historical event. This artwork serves as a visual testament to France's efforts to establish control over its colonies while showcasing Giraud's artistic prowess. It stands proudly within Château de Versailles in France, reminding visitors of this significant chapter in their nation's history.
