Funeste accidente arrivé à Absalon Leroux

Amédée Charles Henri Cham

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two riders and their mounts. In the scene, one figure is entangled in tree branches while riding a donkey, and another rider follows closely behind on a horse with a stick in hand. The drawing is monochrome with bold outlines and shading to emphasize movement and texture, showcasing a caricature-like style. The scene conveys a sense of chaos and misadventure amidst a cartoonish backdrop.
