Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of two caricatured figures walking through snow. Both are wearing hats and carrying rifles. The figures are exaggerated and comical, with emphasized facial features. The first figure is hunched and trudging through the snow, while the second figure follows closely behind with determination. The snow is textured, creating a sense of depth. The line work and shading contribute to the humorous depiction of the winter scene.
