En somme ca n'est que du "materiel humain."

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures standing in a field of crosses. One figure appears to be supporting or restraining the other. The scene depicts a moment against a backdrop of crosses, suggesting a cemetery or battlefield. The lines are drawn with shading and texture to give depth to the figures and background, contributing to a somber atmosphere.
