- Abstract
-
Scene in a park with high wall and a gate into an alley in the background. Two young ladies lean over the top of the wall looking down on a duel taking place in the foreground. One of the duellists is sprawled on the ground, his wig fallen off. His opponent is standing above him with his rapier aloft. On the right, an apple-woman is trying to recover apples fallen out of the overturned basket. On the left, a surgeon attends to yet another duellist with a wound on his bald head and with his rapier still in his hand. A number of spectators are gathered on the left and on the right in the background. Between them, a lonely gentleman in a bag wig and with his back turned to the viewer, salutes the two ladies leaning over the wall
