This artwork captures a significant moment during the Franco-Prussian War, specifically focusing on the dramatic escape of Léon Gambetta, a prominent French statesman, from besieged Paris in 1870. Gambetta, who was a key figure in the French Third Republic, used the balloon named "L'Armand Barbes" to flee the city and continue his efforts to organize resistance against the Prussian forces.

The painting is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the urgency and tension of the historical event.

The depiction of the balloon itself is rendered with great precision, capturing the intricate details of its construction and the tension of its ascent. The figures in the painting, including Gambetta, are portrayed with a sense of realism that adds to the overall impact of the work.
