A Bullier (To Bullier's)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

This print shows two women with their arms linked. The woman on the left is turned towards the right, facing with the other woman. Her facial features are partially visible; she has a sharp nose and an upturned mouth. Her light hair is styled up and covered by a wide-brimmed light blue hat. She wears a red, form-fitting dress. The woman on the right is turned towards the other woman, and more of her face is visible. She has wide, dark eyes and is smiling. Her dark hair is styled up with a yellow hat resting on top. She wears a dress with a high neckline and what appears to be a black-and-white plaid design. Around her waist, there's a dark belt that cinches the outfit. The background behind the women is dark, with light circular shapes resembling streetlamps glowing behind them.
