Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image shows the upper half of two figures with their backs to the viewer. The adult figure on the left has short or tied back hair, wearing an outlined garment. The child on the right is smaller, with less detailed hair. Both figures are angled towards an altar or similar structure. In front of them is a textured surface, possibly indicating a religious setting, with a statue or image on an altar with floral decorations. To the right is the word "PRIERE." The surrounding environment suggests an interior space, possibly a small chapel or room, with minimal detail beyond the central scene.
