Artist, French, 1822 - 1882

The image shows several people in different poses and positions. On the left, a man is seated with his body visible in a side-facing profile. He is wearing a suit and a tall hat, with his arms crossed on his lap. To his right, there are sketches of three women also seated, wearing dresses with one holding an umbrella. The figures are stylized and the setting appears to be outdoors with minimal background details.
