An Allegorical Painting

Lady Liberty Driving Away Tyrants, Anarchists and Dictators

Monarchy is already defeated and Liberty fights on against the more hidden enemies. Note the shield with no stars (yet) but thirteen stripes and the eagle. The other elements of the picture all have meaning, too. This is on a ceiling somewhere; ID would be appreciated. Liberty is Golda Meir or Margaret Thatcher or Elizabeth Wales. No others come close although most women Marines are equal in bravery. Anology: Christ driving the Moneychangers from the Temple
