Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

Two figures are shown in a seated side view. The figure on the left is an older person with a slightly elongated nose and discernible chin, short wavy hair, and a long draped garment. They are seated close to the other figure, both facing the right side. A staff or rod-like object is on the ground near the older figure. The figure on the right is in a crouched stance, with a youthful face, smooth skin, and longer hair tied back. Both figures wear flowing garments. The background is dark and textured, suggesting an enclosed setting with subtle wooden or stone features. In the upper center-left, a window or opening shows a hint of outdoor light or sky, illuminating the scene.
