Gambetta Monument, Cahors
ink and pastel
4.625" x 3.5" (11.8 cm x 8.9 cm)

This drawing was in an old sketch book which I was about to throw out yesterday. It was done last autumn, on dull day in Cahors, France.

Léon Gambetta, with his arm outstretched, cuts a dashing figure atop his monument. (Although it is not in the drawing, his other arm rests on a cannon. I guess you didn't mess with Léon.)

If you are in Cahors, I would recommend visiting the Musée de la Résistance, a small but interesting musuem.
