No problem - I did wonder when I saw it. I seem to recall seeing a painting in one of the museums in Paris, quite a long time ago - and it was of the personification of the French Republic - a woman dressed in a long robe and adorned with the French colours - with a shield, and I'm sure the crown of laurels. I've no idea how I remembered that !
