EBERHARD THE WEEPER (Larmoyeur), Ary Scheffer, Louvre, Paris; canvas, H. 5 ft. × 5 ft. 4 in.; signed. Ulrich, son of Count Eberhard, of Würtemberg, on recovering from wounds received in the battle of Reutlingen, which he had lost, sought his father at Stuttgart. The old knight received him coldly, and when his son took his seat opposite him at table, seized a knife and cut the table-cloth between them. Ulrich, stung by the insult, made extraordinary efforts in the next battle, Doffingen, which he won at the cost of his life. The picture represents the father alone in his tent, weeping over his son's dead body, as described in Schiller's ballad. Salon, 1834; Collection of Louis Philippe; from Luxembourg. Replicas in Corcoran Gallery, Washington, Boston Art Museum, and Rotterdam Museum. A second picture (Salon, 1851), called Le Coupeur de Nappe, represents the father cutting the table-cloth.—Art Treasures of America, i. 5.
