Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of three figures in a comical, contorted struggle. 

The drawing depicts three individuals engaged in an awkward, almost slapstick, entanglement. Their expressions are comedic, and they appear to struggle to maintain their balance, with one figure on all fours and another tipping backward, causing his hat to fly off. Their clothing is detailed, reflecting a variety of textures and patterns. The scene is dynamic, capturing the movement and energy of the figures with fluid, curving lines. The title is "Fâcheux résultat de l'abus de la viande de cheval." The soft use of shading and line work enhances the depth and liveliness of the figures against the plain background.
