Introduction
Though unnumbered, this drawing seems to have been part of the series that included “The Bivouac after the Ball” and “The Day after the Ball”. Its violence suggests that the entire series of drawings may have comprised a serious critical interpretation of DGR's social world.
Pictorial
The drawing may be usefully compared with two important later watercolours, The Death of Brueze sans Pitié and A Fight for a Woman.
