Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

Three individuals are sitting closely together. On the left, a man with scruffy hair and a worn expression leans forward, resting his elbow on his knee with his hand dangling down. In the center, a woman sits upright with closed eyes, wearing a bonnet. She holds an umbrella or cane in front of her. The man on the right leans against the woman, with his face resting against his hand. He wears a top hat, a scarf, and layered clothing, with a noticeable checkered pattern on his vest. The background suggests they are inside a public transport vehicle, with a sign partially visible above them.
