La Boucherie Militaire

Auguste Brouet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a butcher shop scene. A large dead animal, possibly a bull, lies on a table on the left. A man in a cap sits beside it. The right side shows several men in caps and aprons. One man stands with his back turned, another sits on a bag, and a third stands behind him. A fourth man is obscured. The background features a wooden structure with beams and what appear to be animal hides or carcasses hanging on the wall. A bucket and other objects are on the floor. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner. The scene appears to be titled "La Boucherie Militaire" by Auguste Brouet.
