Man loopt weg van zijn slachtoffer na zwaardduel 1830 - 1880

This 19th-century lithograph, "Man loopt weg van zijn slachtoffer na zwaardduel," depicts a man walking away from a fallen figure after a sword fight, while another figure watches from the background. Created by Adolphe Mouilleron, a French artist known for his dramatic and often violent depictions of historical events, this print showcases the artist's ability to capture the tension and tragedy of such a scene. The composition and use of light and shadow further enhance the sense of drama, drawing the viewer into the scene. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a poignant reminder of the brutality of sword duels, a popular practice during this period.
