La sortie de l'audience (1ère planche) (Coming Out of the Hearing) (first plate)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch with several figures portrayed as outlines. The central focus is a woman and two children. The woman is slightly bent forward, wearing a shawl covering her head. One child wears a hat and coat, holding a small object. The other child wears a wide-brimmed hat and knee-length coat. In the background, there are two adult figures, with one looking downwards and the other wearing a long garment and headwear. The setting is sparsely detailed, suggesting an undefined interior space. No jewelry or additional objects are shown.
