"Horace Vernet, Original Drawing From 1818"
Magnificent graphite drawing, signed Horace VERNET and dated 1818, representing a grump playing with a child during a fair. The first shot shows with great finesse the touching scene of a veteran of the Napoleonic armies making a young child jump on his wooden leg. The entire background is outlined with the accuracy in the forms and attitudes that only masters know how to render so well. Work of high quality and full of charm, in perfect state of conservation. Sheet measuring 17 X 13.5 cm, glued to a cardboard support measuring 41.5
