iconographic description:
a national guard stands upright, facing forward. In the background, other guards, their backs. The pl. Denounces the actions of certain national guards who, in the exercise of their functions, forget even their primary quality as citizens. The explanation specifies that pl. Aims to reveal “the type of public order fanaticism in office”, having pushed this guard to beat members of his family. The title pushes the absurdity to the point of leading him to hit himself.
