Thenot and Colinet Eat their Evening Meal

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The image features a small etching or print depicting two seated individuals within a structure resembling a hut. One figure is positioned on the left side of a table, and the other on the right. Both individuals are seated on chairs facing each other across the table. The person on the left is shown in a side profile, facing towards the table, and the individual on the right is similarly seated with a side profile view. The figures appear to be dressed in long garments. The hut has a thatched roof, and the background is dark, emphasizing the scene. The larger brown paper provides a textured surface and frames the illustration centrally.
