Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of two figures in period attire engaged in a struggle. The foreground features a figure grabbing another by the lapels of his coat. Both are dressed in early 19th-century style, with tall top hats and tailored coats. The setting suggests a street or urban environment, with faint outlines of buildings in the background and a distant figure walking away. The artwork uses black and white shading to create texture and depth. There is an inscription at the bottom written in French, "On reprend son bien où on le trouve."
