Lourdes, la paralytique (2e planche) (Lourdes, the Paralytic) (second plate)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a black and white sketch of three figures. Two figures stand close together, one slightly bent forward while the other two lean towards him. The figure on the right, a man with tussled hair and a coat, is supporting the figure on the left, a woman with long hair and a dress. The middle figure is bent over with hands on shoulders and wrapped in fabric. The sketch features faint outlines of more figures in the background, with minimal details. The drawing is done using varying line thicknesses to show form and volume.
