The story goes that two journalists spotted a French flag flying over Brussels that day and rushed to a local shopkeeper, asking her to quickly stitch together a flag in the new Belgian colours instead. The painting captures that exact moment, with Édouard Ducpétiaux and Lucien Jottrand (one of the flag’s co creators) shown looking on.

De vlag was gebaseerd op die van de Brabantse omwenteling uit 1790.
