Departure for Greenwich (Depart pour Greenwich)

Auguste Lepère

National Gallery of Art

The image features a monochromatic illustration of a woman and child in the foreground. The woman is sitting on a bench, turned slightly to the left, holding a child in her lap. The woman appears to be wearing a dress and a large hat with feathers. The child is facing away from the viewer, with arms extended, also wearing a detailed dress. Beside them, a man is partially visible, facing away. The background shows a busy scene with several figures sketched on a staircase or platform with railing structures, suggesting an outdoor or industrial setting.
