Forain gravant (1ère planche) (Forain Etching) (first plate)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person sitting at a table, leaning forward with their head almost resting on an open book. The individual's facial features are drawn with a thoughtful expression, and they have short, dark hair covering part of their forehead. They are wearing a long-sleeved garment. The background consists of loosely sketched lines indicating a large window or frame on the wall behind the person.
