Henri Ch. Étienne DUJARDIN-BEAUMETZ (1852-1913) after
The Outrage Against the French Flag. Oil on canvas (tears). 82 X 114 cm.
Note: The canvas depicts a famous scene from the Franco-Prussian war, during the surrender of Metz on October 26, 1870. Disobeying the order to hand over his flags, General Lapasset prefers to destroy them: "The mixed brigade returns its flags to no one, and relies on no one for the sad mission of burning them. They did it themselves this morning, and I have in my hands the minutes of this dismal operation".
Inscribed "Pechin" "Oudin".
