The image depicts a black and white sketch of a biblical scene titled "Avant le repas à Emmaus" by Jean Louis Forain. The scene shows three men. The man on the left has dark hair and a beard, wearing a robe. The man in the middle is bald, reclining and wearing a similar robe. The man on the right has long dark hair and is also wearing a robe; only the top of his body is shown. All three men are drawn in a simple room with a table. The drawing style is impressionistic with much cross-hatching. The artist's signature appears in the bottom-right corner. The sketch is set against a white background with a gray border.
