Artist, French, 1855 - 1922

The image depicts two figures - an adult and a child, in a full-length stance. The adult is standing slightly turned to the right, holding a staff in one hand with a curved top, and pointing with the other arm towards the upper right corner. The adult's face is in profile, with short, closely cropped hair, wearing a white robe and bare feet. The child is standing in front, looking to the left with their head slightly raised, dressed in a long red garment with short hair and bare feet. In the background is a dark textured surface with text at the top and bottom saying "SAENT BREIZ" and "S. GUENOLE ABAD." The image has a sketch-like or pastel quality with soft edges and a parchment paper effect.
