A Faint during the Trial.
Ordre des avocats de Paris . 1910. Etching, 25x32cm.
Forain is a well-known caricaturist, especially of the Dreyfus Affair, when he expressed himself virulently. However, as it turned out, he was on the wrong side - in the anti-Dreyfus camp. He is also the author of courtroom scenes that are not satirical in nature and, on the contrary, show a certain compassion for the weaker parties. This work is not so much a caricature as an original artistic creation.. © Ordre des avocats de Paris
