The Worthy Painting is a painting that can be bought in all Animal Crossing series games. In Animal Crossing, it is available at Tom Nook's, but in other games, it can be bought only from Redd's. The Worthy Painting's real-life counterpart is Liberty Leading the People, and Eugène Delacroix painted the work in 1830. A commemoration of the July Revolution, the work depicts a bare breasted and footed woman who personifies the concept of Liberty and the goddess of the same name. Holding the flag of the French Revolution in one hand and a bayonetted musket in the other, she leads a group of determined fighters from a wide array of social classes — ranging from the bourgeoisie to the poor urban workers — over a mound of corpses.

Authenticity

In New Leaf and New Horizons, the painting is always genuine.

" Painted by leading 19th century Romantic artist Delacroix in the same year as a French revolution. The woman in the center is often mistaken for Joan of Arc, but she is actually the fictional "Marianne.""
