The Duel After the Masquerade, 1857-1859. In this painting, showing the outcome of a duel after a costume ball, G?r?me replicates, with slight variations, a composition he had executed for the Duc dAumale in 1857. It is dawn on a wintry day in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, and Pierrot succumbs in the arms of the Duc de Guise. A Venetian doge examines Pierrots wound while Domino clasps his head in despair. To the right, the victorious American Indian departs, accompanied by Harlequin.
