En 1871

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of two half-body figures. One figure, on the left, is standing upright wearing a long-sleeved garment with an emblem over the chest. He has a mustache, short hair, and a stern expression, with one hand on his hip. The second figure, on the right, is less detailed, leaning forward with an obscured face and short hair. The sketch is set on a plain, light-colored background with scribbles and the phrase "En 1871" and a signature in the bottom right corner.
