Artist, French, 1592 - 1635

The image shows a drawing of two full-body figures standing side by side. Both figures are striking a similar pose with variations in their stance. Their facial features are not clearly defined due to the angle. They wear hats with feathers, short and curly hair, textured cloaks with fringed edges, breeches ending above the knee, stockings, simple shoes with bows, and are holding canes that reach the ground. The background is plain.
