Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image is a line drawing of three people: a man, a woman, and a baby. The man is shown from the upper body up, with a prominent mustache and curly hair and an attentive gaze. Next to him, the woman's face is in full profile, with her hair pulled back and delicate facial features. The baby, held in the man's arms, is facing them. The adults are wearing clothes with minimal detail, set against a simple background with faint hatch lines and a red stamp in the lower right corner.
