La Rancune en brancard, abattu dans le bourbier is a 1726 chalk by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a scene with a figure in a muddy area. It's done in black and white chalk on blue paper. The artist used simple lines to create the image. The drawing has a lot of texture and detail. It looks like the artist spent time on the small things, like the mud and the figure's pose. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Jean-Baptiste Oudry was a French Rococo painter, engraver, and tapestry designer. He is particularly well known for his naturalistic pictures of animals and his hunt pieces depicting game. His son, Jacques-Charles Oudry, was also a painter.
