Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image is a sketch showing outlines of multiple figures. The central figure appears to be in a standing position, though specific details about their posture are difficult to discern. The facial features of the figures are not clearly defined, and the hair is suggested with loose lines. The clothing is roughly sketched, appearing to represent long dresses or gowns. Other faint figures appear in similar attire. There is a patch of darker pigment in the lower-left corner. The sketch appears to be unfinished, giving it an impressionistic feel. There are no discernible jewelry or objects being held. The background is mostly undefined, with some light shading and line work.
