Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

In this image, we see the upper bodies of two figures seated closely together, each facing the other. The person on the left is resting their chin on their hand, although details of their facial features are not distinctively visible due to the sketch's shading. This individual has roughly styled hair. They are wearing a loose garment that blends into the large rock or mound they sit on. The person on the right has their back to the viewer and is fully covered by a flowing draped cloak, concealing their face and features. The background consists of textured, organic shapes and foliage, which give a sense of an outdoor setting. The sketch is simple, with fine lines and shading adding depth to the scene.
