Artist, French, 1836 - 1904

The image shows two people seated at a table, with only their upper bodies visible. Their positions suggest they are engaged in an activity at the table, with heads inclined towards the tabletop. One person has dark hair styled in a bun. The other person's features are illuminated, showing refined facial features and long hair tied back. Both are dressed in dark clothing with white collars. The surroundings include a window draped with sheer fabric on one side, allowing light to filter through. The room seems dimly lit, enhancing the contrast between the figures and the illuminated tabletop.
