Print shows Honoré-Gabriel de Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau (at center) arriving at the Elysian Fields, where he hands a copy of the French Constitution to Jean-Jacques Rousseau as Benjamin Franklin reaches to place a wreath on Mirabeau's head. In the left background François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon, Charles de Secondat (baron de Montesquieu), Voltaire, and Gabriel Bonnot de Mably come to greet him, and in the right background Demosthenes and Cicero are talking together. Above the scene, a putto flies, carrying a flag reading "La France Libre." Three other putti are gathering papers from the ground behind Mirabeau. On the far right, Charon uses an oar to push his boat off from shore.
