Monsieur... Monsieur, v'la vot' mouchoir

The drawing depicts a man and a woman in historical attire standing in the rain. The man holds an open umbrella above his head. He wears a tall hat, a long coat, and a sash across his chest. The woman reaches out to the man with one hand while holding a cloth. She wears a headscarf, a long dress, and an apron. Rain falls in the background on a stone-paved urban street.
