Artist, French, 1864 - 1901

The image is a sketch depicting a partial view of a person's body, focusing primarily on their upper torso and one extended leg. The figure appears to be in a seated position, slightly bent forward. The person's facial features are roughly outlined, showing a side profile with a prominent nose and visible lips. Their hair seems to be tied back or covered by a cloth. The sketch does not distinctly show any particular clothing, but features more focused on the body contours. The left leg is extended outward with detail given to its structure and musculature. There is a sketchy outline of what seems like a wooden crutch beside the upper body. The background consists of a plain space with no additional elements or context present, emphasizing the figure as the central focus.
