Four Men Arguing 1800 - 1900

"Four Men Arguing" is an anonymous 19th-century drawing in pen and wash on paper depicting four men in animated discussion. The drawing captures a moment of intense argument, with the figures engaged in a lively exchange of gestures and facial expressions. The artist's use of muted tones and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, suggesting a rapid sketch of a real-life scene. This drawing, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offers a glimpse into the everyday life and social interactions of people during this period.
