Comments
| Mogelijk gaat het om de uitbeelding van Emile Erckman (1822-1899) en Alexandre Chatrian (1826 – 1890) die samen een historiche roman schreven met als titel: Histoire d’un conscrit de 1813, Waterloo, L’Ami Fritz. Hoewel de hond op Fritz lijkt, gelijken de portretten van de beide mannen niet. |
