1813 AD (C19th AD)

Image description

The incident depicted took place in 1790, when Breton peasants from outside Nantes were told that the toll they would have to pay to attend an agricultural fair was increased. They tried to break into the fair without paying, but the mayor, Kervegan, brought in the National Guard, stared down the peasants, and managed to calm the situation without bloodshed. The painting honors the local notable Kervegan for his firmness and quick thinking in preventing the situation from getting out of hand.
