Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image is a sketch of a baby from the shoulders up. The baby is depicted in a seated or reclining position with its head slightly turned to the side and resting on its shoulders. The facial features are delicate and relaxed, with closed eyes, a nose, and a mouth suggested by simple line work. The hair is shown with short, straight lines indicating fine, sparse hair. The baby seems to be wrapped in a blanket or wearing loose clothing, as indicated by crisscrossing lines suggesting fabric folds. The background is plain with the focus on the child. At the bottom are the names "Pierre François Marie Flouury" and the date "6 Juin 1931" in elegant script.
