Paris Scenes and Murderers

Adolphe Léon Willette

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a drawing of three men walking on cobblestone road. The men are drawn in pencil and colored with a range of grays and blacks. They are all wearing caps and have their heads downcast. The man on the left is tall and muscular, wearing a vest. The two men to his right are slightly shorter and dressed in long-sleeved shirts and pants. The background is a pinkish-orange color with some darker shading around the edges. A large skull-like face is depicted behind the three men. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom right of the image. The paper is aged and worn.
