Gendarme

Henri-Gabriel Ibels

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body drawing of a person standing, facing slightly to the viewer's right. The person is dressed in a formal uniform with dark shading, detailed buttons and a belt at the waist. They are wearing epaulets and a distinctive cap. The facial features are sketched with a content expression, and the hair is short, nestling under the hat. The arms are positioned by the sides, with one hand outstretched. The illustration is set against a plain background.
