The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom...
who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States: a welcoming signal to "immigrants" ( not all emigrants ) arriving from abroad......
Dit schilderij maakte ik, in mijn overpeinzingen over oorlogen en geweld...
Miss Liberty must be taking a coffee break
