A Versailles juillet 1919

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The sketch primarily shows two individuals with a focus on their upper bodies. On the left, a man with short hair and a mustache is depicted looking downward, possibly writing or reading. To his right, another man is leaning on a barrier or low wall. The background suggests an audience or crowd, with curved lines and some indistinct detailing resembling trees or structural elements.
