Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of two caricatured figures, one presenting a jack-in-the-box to the other. The first figure is on the left bending over, extending the toy to the second figure on the right. The jack-in-the-box has an animated head with enlarged eyes and a wide grin. The second figure seems surprised by the toy. The style of the drawing includes bold lines and exaggerated proportions.
