Book of Fountains: No. 4 by Gabriel Huquier. Black and white drawing on aged paper with rough edges. A woman sits on a rock in a cave, wearing a long dress. The woman has long hair. She sits on a rocky outcropping, with her right leg bent. Below her are two nude figures, one on the left with a skull-like face and one on the right who is a child. The background has a cave-like texture. The drawing has a rectangular border. The paper is yellowed with age and has spots of discoloration. The edges of the paper are rough and uneven. The drawing depicts a scene in a cave. The figures are drawn in detailed, cross-hatch shading. The image conveys a sense of movement and drama. The overall appearance is one of an old, detailed engraving.
