Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of four figures with exaggerated features gathered together in a caricatured representation. The figures appear to be in an environment labeled "L'arène parlementaire." Each figure has disproportionately large heads on small, muscular bodies. The figures display unique and expressive facial features and are interacting with each other in a way that suggests a discussion or debate. The background is minimal. The drawing uses stark lines and shading to emphasize the caricatures’ features and mannerisms.
