Hiding the "louis"

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two illustrated figures. On the left, a person in a long coat, boots, and a helmet stands facing rightward with arms slightly extended and palms open. They have a sword on their left side. On the right, another person wears a long dress-like garment and a distinctive hat, leaning against a structure. The background suggests rough terrain with bags labeled "ROUM" nearby.
