Le petit déjeuner (planche en largeur) (Breakfast) (horizontal plate)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an interior scene with two figures. One figure is seated on a bed, partially obscured by draped fabric, facing the other person in the room. The seated figure has long hair, faint facial features, and is wearing a garment that looks like a bed gown or night attire. The other person, standing next to the bed, is holding a book or document and wearing a long dress with a shawl or hooded cloak. A small table with a candlestick, other furniture, and a fireplace are visible in the background. The drawing is done in soft pencil or charcoal.
