Gabriel de Saint-Aubin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two aged, torn pieces of paper with drawings on them. The left piece of paper has a drawing divided into two sections. The top section shows a man in a robe standing with his arms outstretched, facing a woman in a red dress. Behind them, a woman sits at a table, and another person stands by the table. The bottom section shows a group of people sitting around a table. The right piece of paper has a single drawing of a group of people in various poses. A woman sits on a pedestal on the left side. On the right side, a group of people are standing and sitting. Some of them appear to be wearing elaborate costumes or wigs. The background of both drawings is a light brown color, with some darker brown spots and stains. The drawings appear to be in a sketchy, pencil-like style. The overall appearance is that of old, hand-drawn illustrations.
