Artist, French, 1864 - 1940

The image is an illustration of four people from the waist up in a communal setting. The two figures at the center are prominently positioned, with the woman on the left wearing a hat with feathers and the man next to her wearing a top hat and an exaggerated expression. The center-right figure is a woman adorned in a fluffy, fur coat with her hands raised slightly, and her facial features are round with an expression of slight surprise. To the far right, a person is depicted in profile, wearing a knitted hat with a pom-pom, bending forward as if to observe something closely. The background shows a faintly sketched indoor setting with lighting fixtures or chandeliers.
