Mannen met fakkels in een optocht 1899

"Mannen met fakkels in een optocht" is a charcoal drawing by Rault from 1899. The drawing captures a scene of a crowd of men, most of whom are holding torches, with a prominent figure in the foreground wearing a coat and a hat. The artwork is a black and white piece that highlights the dynamism of the crowd using a gestural style of drawing, a hallmark of the late 19th century. The piece, measuring 400 mm x 289 mm, offers a glimpse into a specific moment in time.
