Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of an attic scene with two figures present. A tall figure is balancing on a chair placed on a table, peering into a narrow attic window. The figure wears formal attire with a top hat, holding a monocle to their eye. An umbrella leans against the chair. A shorter figure in casual attire watches the first person. The artwork depicts fine lines and shading to create depth, with detailed textures visible in the walls and clothing.
