Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This drawing shows two male figures near a sign labeled "Frontiere de France." One figure holds a top hat in one hand, while the other clutches his bag. The second figure appears hunched over, gripping his bag tightly. The sketch style captures the folds of their garments and the texture of their bags.
