Artist, French, 1852 - 1931

The image shows a drawing of a person standing with their hands on a book on a table. The person seems to be speaking or addressing a group. They have a bald head, a mustache, and a serious expression, wearing a dark-colored garment. On the table in front of them is a helmet with a spike. In the background, there is a crowd of people. The setting appears formal, possibly a public event. The image includes the text "Versailles, 28 Juin."
