Un tableau de papa! (1ère planche) (A Painting of Daddy's!) (first plate)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of two individuals from behind. The taller person on the left is standing slightly hunched forward with short, dark hair. The shorter person on the right is seated, with long wavy hair falling down their back. Both individuals appear to be looking out a window. The taller person is wearing what seems to be a jacket, while the seated individual is dressed in a patterned garment with a long sleeve. No specific details of their clothing, jewelry, or accessories are visible. The background is filled with sketch lines suggesting an outdoor scene.
