Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This image shows two individuals in full length. The person on the left is facing the viewer, slightly bent backward with an expression. They have prominent facial features with exaggerated eyes and eyebrows, straight black hair, and are dressed in dark, long clothing and holding a top hat. The person on the right embraces the first person closely with arms wrapped around their shoulders. Their face is partially obscured, but they appear to wear a top hat and have a similarly elongated form. Their clothing is also dark with a somewhat tattered, long coat or dress. In the background, there is a sketchy depiction of a busy setting with numerous other figures in top hats, outlines of buildings, and cobblestone ground.
