Specialist note
"Je ressens une difficulté à expliciter les motifs qui me poussent à introduire dans le tableau ces personnages. Il y a lieu d'observer qu'ils sont figurés à une échelle fausse : beaucoup plus grands qu'ils ne devraient être en proportion des aires qu'ils parcourent. Il me semble qu'ils aident fortement à visionner le site qui, lui-même abrégé brutalement en figurations sommaires schématiques, risquerait, sans ces personnages, de ne donner aucune prise à visionner quoi que ce soit."
"I feel it difficult to explain the reasons which drive me to include these characters in the painting. It can be observed that they figure on a wrong scale : Much bigger than they should be in proportion with the areas they roam. It seems to me they strongly contribute to view the site which, itself brutally cut down in succint schematic figurations, would risk, without these characters, to not give anything to contemplate."
