Det berømte maleriet «Eidsvold 1814» ble malt av Oscar Wergeland 70 år etter grunnlovsforsamlingen og gitt som gave til Stortinget i 1885. Christian Magnus Falsen står oppreist og leser fra Grunnloven, mens sorenskriver Wilhelm Frimann Koren Christie sitter ved siden av. I maleriet kan rundt 70 personer av Riksforsamlingens 112 medlemmer identifiseres.[1] Bildet henger i Stortingssalen.
Norway was not really just Norway at that time we were under Danish rule, Denmark-Norway. And after our constitution we thought we would be a soveraign state but then Sweden did like the thought of being king over Sweden and Norway and so we were under Swedish rule but a bit freer in Sweden-Norway. But in 1905 we got our own King Haakon and then we really ruled ourselves in a parlamentary monarchy.
