Trissotin Reading to Philaminte, Bélise, and Armande (from act 3, scene 2 of Molière's "Les Femmes Savantes"
A pencil drawing depicts a scene with four people in 18th-century attire. The man, positioned centrally, wears a dark suit and has white hair. He sits in a chair with his left hand extended outward and holds papers in his right hand. Three women are arranged on either side of him. The two women on the left sit on a couch or two chairs pushed together, wearing dresses that are lightly shaded with red and white. The woman on the far right sits on a separate chair with her elbow resting on a table. The background features a doorway with busts on pedestals and framed pictures on the walls.
