Vidal (french School Early 19th C.) : “the Battle”

Vidal (French School, early 19th century): “The fight”, sepia wash on strong paper 31 x 26 cm mounted “museum”, neutral pH cardboard and anti-UV glass in a 45 x 39 cm restoration frame. Numerous tiny foxing spots. if I don't know which Vidal it is, this surname of Catalan origin being common on both sides of the Pyrenees and the following "F" could be a first initial like the abbreviation of "fecit", "has done » in Latin, the fact remains that the verve with which this drawing is drawn makes us want to know more... The bulging gaze of this man brandishing his club while overturning the table on which a mug of beer, pipe and snuffbox was placed indicates that he was taking some rest at the time of the incident, his apron suggesting that it was the innkeeper.
