Il voudrait abbattre ce qui les soutient

At center, the clergy, the parliament, and the nobility are attempting to pull over a tree filled with members of the Third Estate; Necker stands at the base supporting the tree. On the far right, Louis XVI and Jacques Necker are helping a female figure, representing France, to her feet.

Caption: Si vous avez peur des Feuilles n'attaquez pas le Corp de l'Arbre ; Le Pied est bon mais la Cime n'est pas de meme ; La multitude des Branches derange leur ambition.
