Le cabinet particulier (4e planche) (The Private Room) (fourth plate)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three people at a table, focusing on their upper bodies. The central figure leans against another person, whose face is turned from the viewer. The person on the right is leaning into the corner with their head on their arms. They have a beard and wear something on their head. The table is covered with a cloth and set with items like a bottle, grapes, fruit, and what may be stacked books or papers. In the background, there is a large window with abstract lines drawn on it. The scene conveys a sense of quiet and stillness in a dimly lit setting.
