This work, by fourteen year old schoolgirl Monique Delaporte, was a prize winning entry in a French Schools Art Competion. Her school was at 19 rue Victor Meric, Paris. It depicts a match in progress between two local teams, watched by a variety of eccentrically dressed supporters on the touchline.
