The Fifer by Édouard Manet

Day 21 of Inktober was Treasure (I think)

Great art makes me weepy, and this scene with LeBeau always gets my tear-ducts going. The Fifer was unfortunately not in Paris the one time I got to visit the Musée d'Orsay. Course I was already crying over seeing my first live van Gogh...

Also the ink got wet, which is why this is a bit blurry. We’ll call it ‘artistic’ instead.
