Artist, French, 1869 - 1899

The image shows a pencil sketch of a baby. The drawing depicts the baby's upper body, with parts of its arms visible. The baby is reclined and facing directly towards the viewer. The baby's facial features, including a small nose and pursed lips, are detailed, with wide eyes and short hair shown by light strokes. The sketch implies clothing with loose, rounded shapes around the body, resembling a gown or robe, with some gathering near the shoulders, mimicking fabric folds. The hands are slightly visible beneath the gown's sleeves. The background is a plain, unadorned blank surface, focusing attention on the baby's form.
