Saint Peter and Saint Paul at the Door of Bonhomme Misere (Saint Pierre et Saint Paula la port du Bonhomme Misere)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three men standing closely together in what appears to be the entrance of a building. The man on the left is facing forward, but angled slightly towards the viewer, while the other two are turned to the side facing him. The man on the left has an elderly appearance with a long beard and is wearing a robe. The middle figure is wearing a cloth head covering and has short, smooth hair visible under the headpiece. The figure on the right also appears elderly with a full beard and hair. His robe is draped over his shoulders, and he seems to gesture with his hands beneath the fabric. Behind the figures, there is a ladder leaning against the wall, and shading that suggests a roof or overhang above them. A tree branch extends from the top right corner of the background.
