Hats adorned with a tricolor ribbon cockade became symbols of patriotism, while the liberty cap or bonnet rouge, became a symbol of the Revolution. The bonnet rouge resembled a floppy woolen cap commonly worn by working men, but its shape was drawn from the ancient Roman pileus, a cap given to freed slaves to mark their liberation, and the Phrygian cap, a curved cap associated in antiquity with the people of Phrygia, located in present-day Turkey. This rare example of a revolutionary cap represents a type known as the bonnet de police worn by members of the National Guard, which was typically adorned with Revolutionary imagery. The band of this cap is embroidered with a Phrygian cap mounted on a pike, and fasces, or tied bundles of wooden rods, a symbol of unity and authority in ancient Rome.. Cap.

Date: ca. 1790.In his catalogue of Weil's collection Ernst Kris suggested the Austrian archduchess and Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa as the subject of this portrait, but the imposing countenance and ample bosom are those of Catherine the Great (1729-1796) in advanced age.

Artists and designers looked to various artistic periods for forms and motifs. There was also an interest in reproducing works of art from earlier epochs with historical accuracyan approach that is particularly evident in the taste for so-called archaeological jewelry (jewelry based on excavated examples from antiquity), which reached its zenith in the middle of the century.The jewelry made during this period encompassed Etruscan, ancient Roman, early Christian, Byzantine, and medieval styles. The firm of Castellani in Rome both pioneered and dominated the production of archaeological jewelry. Founded by Fortunato Pio Castellani in 1814, the company was run by three generations of the family before closing in 1927. Castellani jewelry achieved enormous popularity in the highest circles ofBust of a boy
