Artist, French, 1865 - 1941

Two full-length figures are depicted on a street. The man in the foreground is standing holding a cane in his left hand. He has a full beard, and his head is slightly tilted forward, partially obscured by a hat. The man is wearing a coat, loose-fitting pants, shoes, and a scarf around his neck. The man in the background is standing with his hands in his pockets, wearing a large overcoat and a hat that shades his face. The overcoat has a high collar and covers his body down to his knees. The background shows faint sketching of wall writings, one reading "Pall Mall Budget." The street's texture is suggested by shading and line work on the ground.
