Après la saisie (After the Seizure)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching depicting four figures walking closely together. The figures include an adult man, an adult woman, and two young children. The man wears a hat and coat, while the woman wears a headscarf and a long dress. The children are dressed in warm clothing. They are portrayed on uneven ground, with buildings in the background. The figures are shown from head to toe, with their bodies slightly turned to the left. The man's facial features are shadowed, the woman's features are delicate lines, and the children's faces are round with soft features.
