The Hats of the Allies [recto]

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The sketch shows two individuals from slightly above the waist up, leaning forward over a table. The person on the left has medium-length hair covering their facial features, while the individual on the right is bald and wearing glasses. Both wear long-sleeved outfits and are engaging with objects on the table, including cylindrical items that might be containers or drums, and a rod or stick nearby. The background is plain and simple.
