Piqué de ma raillerie, il s'évertue et remporte le prix is a 1778 ink by Nicolas Delaunay, a Romanticism work, held at Widener Collection.
This black-and-white scene shows a lively street outside a small house. A man in fancy clothes is mid-stride, holding a child’s hand while others—kids, a woman, and a few onlookers—watch. A dog trots near his feet, and a lantern hangs above the doorway, casting light on the group. The house looks cozy, with a thatched roof and a tree shading part of it. The text at the bottom hints at a playful moment, maybe teasing or a small bet. The artist used lines to show movement and emotion, making the scene feel full of life.
