Three men arguing 1820 - 1866

"Three Men Arguing" is a drawing created by Victor Adam, a French artist active in the 19th century. This small, yet detailed work depicts a heated scene between three men in period clothing. Adam's use of hatching and cross-hatching, visible in the figures and background, creates a sense of depth and volume, enhancing the dynamism of the argument. This drawing, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into everyday life during Adam's time, offering insights into the social dynamics and attire of the era.
