Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts three figures in full-body views, drawn in a sketch-like style. On the left, a figure is shown huddling with a smaller figure. The woman has her head covered with a hood and leans forward slightly. The figure standing on the right appears to be a man with a thick beard wearing a round helmet. Both figures wear heavy outerwear. The background is sparse with only pencil lines suggesting a rough ground. There are no visible objects or jewelry.
