Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

This is a drawing of two figures in a forest. The black and white drawing depicts two unclothed individuals situated in a forest clearing. They are surrounded by tall trees with distinct, vertically aligned trunks and sparse foliage that forms a canopy overhead. The texture of the trees and the ground is created using dense lines and hatching. The figures are portrayed in a contemplative or relaxed pose, with one figure seated and the other standing, holding fabric draped around the lower body. The scene is intimate and serene, with a focus on the contrast between the natural setting and the human form.
