Albert Bettanier, The Black Spot, 1887. We notice on the painting a map of France, featuring the lost departments of Alsace-Lorraine (in black), the pupil's school bataillion uniform, the Cross of School Merit of the model-pupil, a drum next to the teacher's desk, as well as the instruction rifles near the rakeboard, reminding the child military instruction present then in national education.
