THE HAWK
Dupuis
Original cover of the Journal de Spirou
No. 3078, April 9, 1997. Presence of
very small spots of metallic oxidation
on the front and back of the original. Signed.
Indian ink and watercolor on paper
25.5 × 35 cm (10.04 × 13.78 in.)
At the majestic site of Fort Bertheaume, L'Épervier and a few of his men keep watch over the sea. With rifles in hand or slung over their shoulders, cartridge pouches loaded with bullets or grenades, they are all heavily armed. On his belt, Yann carries his father’s bayonet with a cap and a long dragoon pistol secured by its hook. The sun has barely risen, illuminating the sheer cliff. They know the attack is imminent. Yet I find them surprisingly calm. The force of habit, no doubt… Patrice Pellerin
