À la conférence (At the Conference)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two male figures in a monochromatic sketch. One man is seated at a table, leaning slightly forward, engaged in an activity. He has a bald head and wears glasses, with a distinct nose and pointed facial features. The other man stands opposite him, with a shaved head and pronounced features. He wears a robe with broad lapels, and one arm rests by his side. The background is blank, and there are light sketches indicating the table and a square piece of paper. A signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
