Artist, French, 1858 - 1941

The image features a sketch of two individuals in an interior setting. One individual, depicted standing upright from the side, has neatly styled hair pulled back into a bun and is wearing a long skirt and jacket. The other individual, seated at a table, is mostly shown from the back and partially obscured by the table. This person appears to have short hair or is bald and is wearing a jacket. There are no details about the activity at the table. The background of the sketch shows room interiors with lines representing walls and a piece of furniture, possibly a cabinet or shelf. Cross-hatching is used to add texture and depth to the figures and the room.
