Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch with two figures. The figure on the left is depicted from the waist up, with long hair falling over one shoulder. They are dressed in a sleeveless garment. The figure on the right is seated, has a bald head, distinct facial features, and wears a dark suit. They are holding what appears to be a large bird. The background is plain with minimal sketch lines, and there are inscriptions in the upper left and below the figures.
