Le bouquet (The Bouquet)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two individuals standing from the knees up. On the left is a woman in profile facing a man. She has her hair in a bun and wears a dress with a checkered pattern, holding a large envelope. The man on the right wears a suit with a top hat, holding a small piece of paper. The background consists of vertical lines, suggesting a wall, and there is a hint of a basket with coins near the woman. The setting appears simple, with minimal details indicating an indoor environment.
