    They charged down the battle-torn street / the dying and dead at their feet, / Marianne lead the way, / then she turned ‘round to say: / D’you think that my garb’s indiscreet?” /// With the Tricolor held in the air / she epitomized her nom de guerre, / “Liberte” was the name / with which she would win fame; / Charles the tenth left his throne in despair. /// With her comrades they toppled a King, / and all France their high praises would sing. / The kid, “Egalite,” / top-hat, “Fraternite,” / and the “Lib” who made topless “a thing.”

    Liberty to the man in the top hat: “Walk ahead of me and make sure all these guys are dead. As you can see, I don’t wear underwear and I don’t want anyone looking up my dress.”

    I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s OK) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. Also, if like me you don’t read French (I took German instead in high school because I thought it would help me understand my parents, who would speak this Americanized German when they didn’t want us kids to know what they were saying – it didn’t, that German dialect wasn’t taught; but, that was in 1963, and I only remember a few words now), the blog has the caption in text (don’t have to retype it into an online translator), which with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions, Chrome can automatically translate. So far, 4 works by this artist have been used here. 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2020/02/04?comments=visible 

    has the prior (the artist info URLs include the ones in my comment there).

    Pierre thought it was unfair that in order to be taken seriously, he had to show up to the revolution in a three piece suit, with a starched collar and an undershirt, while Marie could throw on whatever rag she had handy, and everybody assumed that she was in charge.

    Is anyone else wondering why an artist portraying people dying in battle finds it necessary for the lone woman to be topless? Or is it just a lady thing?

    It has always amazed me how the bodices of the women in Delacroix’s paintings were always able to fall. Women wore undergarments then, yet those also disappeared.
