Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

This is a drawing of two figures in a wooded area. One figure is in a robe, standing with hands clasped, while the other figure is holding a bundle of sticks or branches. The background consists of tall trees. The drawing uses cross-hatching and fine lines to create texture and depth. The contrast between the background and the figures adds to the composition's tension. The scene conveys a sense of storytelling, with the environment contributing to the mood.
