About this work

Two men stand on a dusky ground, one in a loose white shirt holding a drawn sword forward while the other, in a tricorn hat and dark coat, grips the blade's guard and holds a folded cloak. The muted palette and loose brushwork focus attention on the tense staging of the confrontation.
