"Mort de Lescaut" (Death of Lescaut), an etching created by Léopold Flameng in 1875, depicts a dramatic scene set in a narrow, shadowed street. The composition highlights a man in the foreground, seemingly in pain, with his arm outstretched. Behind him are four figures, their faces obscured by shadows, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue.
