Let me guess the meaning behind this artwork: there are many people cheat to win card games and king (in real life) is a character with power and everyone want to be a king. Which shows the ambition of the majority want to be king/have great power and would dare cheat to achieve it.

Wonderful artwork btw!

Funky fact: the first republican constitution of Italy became active on January the 1st, 1948, the same year India gained independence from the British Empire.

We share a common Republican heritage stemming from resistance to tiranny and imperialism

The expression takes it in a completely different direction for me. It shows a man who has acted with nobility all his life and how that has left him damaged. He has lived a life of sacrifice and it hasn't been easy
