Two Ladies in a Loge

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two people sketched in a simple line drawing style on beige paper. On the left, a person in profile view is shown with the upper half of their body visible, looking down at their raised hands. The person on the right is seated, facing slightly to the right with a relaxed posture. They have an updo hairstyle and wear a loose-fitting garment, holding three narrow sticks or rods in their right hand. The background is plain with linear patterns suggesting a surface to the right of the person.
