About the piece
Painted in 1879 by Alfred Dehodencq, this dramatic oil work depicts the mobilization of the Garde Nationale Mobile in Paris at the start of the Franco-Prussian War. The composition masterfully balances the grand scale of history with intimate human moments, featuring a striking woman in a blue gown as a central focal point against the backdrop of classic Haussmann-era architecture.
