Artist, French, 1868 - 1941

The image shows two figures in a classical, stylized manner. The seated figure is dressed in a toga-like garment, with an exposed chest and muscular form. This figure appears aged, with a wrinkled face, bushy beard, and bald head, looking intently at the standing figure. The standing figure has wavy hair styled away from the face and is holding a large jug, pouring liquid into a goblet held by the seated figure. The background includes simple architectural elements with a suggestion of drapery and horizontal lines. The image is rendered in a monochromatic scheme with bold outlines and shaded areas.
