The Charge Of The War Elephants, 1910
A French school painting depicting a charge of war elephants (with drapery on their flanks and a howdah mounted on the animal’s back) advancing across what appears to be a battlefield under a threatening sky, with silhouettes resembling horsemen armed with lances on either side; the low-angle shot lends the scene an almost cinematic style and reinforces the sense of the scene’s overwhelming scale.
Historical scene (Hannibal, Salambo)
A bold, dynamic touch bordering on abstraction.
Signed “Felix” and dated 1910 in the lower right corner
“Paris” paint dealer’s stamp on the back
nicely framed
