C'est la Paix. Tu vois pas un kepi!

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two men in a room. One man stands in profile wearing a suit with a long coat, and he has a bald head with a mustache. The other man is seated at a table, leaning slightly back with one arm resting on the table. He has a monocle and a mustache, and he is bald. He is wearing a formal suit with a bow tie. On the table, there are top hats and bowler hats scattered and stacked haphazardly. The background is simple, with light shadow lines suggesting a wall behind them. No additional decorative elements are present in the image.
