Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

The image shows two individuals standing together. Both are depicted from head to toe, facing slightly to the right. They have rough facial sketches and appear older. They both have short hair covered by a dark, cap-like headdress and are wearing long, dark robes. One person's arms are crossed, while the other seems to be holding their robe. In the background, there are blurred outlines of other figures.
