C'est la, que j'ai fini le cure

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

This drawing is a sketch depicting several faint shapes and outlines. On the left is a man in profile, looking up and to the right with his hands in his pockets. The man has pale skin and a dark beard and mustache, and he wears a flat cap and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. To the right, there appears to be a pole with the legs of another person hanging from the top. The man appears to be looking up at this hanging figure. Behind this scene are more pencil outlines that may indicate other people or objects. The background is beige paper.
