Detailed Solution

The female allegory of France never took part in the French Revolution.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, artists found a way to represent a nation and liberalism. As a person, they represented a nation. A female figure portrays a nation, but this was not like any normal woman in life. Instead, this female figure gave the ideas of liberty, justice, and republic, and it became an allegory of the nation. The female figure of France as the allegory of the nation was christened Marianne; it was a popular Christian name. As we know, the characteristics of the allegory of the female figure were liberty and the republic—the red cap, the tricolour. The allegory of France was also marked on the coins and stamps to remind the citizens of unity.
