專家說明

Ralph Jentsch has confirmed the authenticity of this work.

This drawing illustrates the power dynamics between France and Germany following World War I. Two German gentlemen bow and plead to a massive frog (a derogatory term for the French) that holds a bloody sword in its mouth. The figure on the left promises a written guarantee of good payment and the kneeling figure to his right begs for assistance in fighting the Communists.
