Old Master drawing, ink and wash on paper, a vivid depiction of the immediate aftermath of a tavern brawl. A tumultuous scene of smashed furniture, two men wrestling on the floor, men shouting at each other, a baby tumbled out of its bassinet, a dog barking, an industrious worker already beginning to sweep up the debris and broken glass, and guards bearing halberds coming in at the top of the stairs to quell the affray. Meanwhile a group of saturnine drinkers look on from their game of cards largely unperturbed by the chaos surrounding them. Unknown artist, perhaps a study for a painting. A large work, measuring 26” x 18.75.” Appears circa 18th century or very early 19th century .Shipping from U.S.
