National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals seated closely together. The central figure is engaged in conversation with another person to his left. The central figure has dark hair styled in an older fashion, with prominent cheekbones and a subtle smile. He is wearing a dark jacket and a collared shirt. The person to his left has lighter, curly hair and is wearing a patterned suit jacket. A third figure, mostly obscured, has a feminine appearance and is seated behind the other two. The setting is intimate with shaded textures suggesting depth. The sketch is monochromatic.
