Ribot Deposition (Déposition Ribot)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image is a pencil sketch showing a group of people in what appears to be a courtroom or formal setting. Among the figures, one person is standing while several others are seated. The standing person is shown in a side profile view, with a bald head, mustache, and wearing formal attire that includes a long coat. He is holding a cane or walking stick in one hand. The seated individuals and others in the background are dressed in similar formal clothing with some wearing hats and are depicted in varying degrees of detail and with shaded or sketched facial features. The background has minimal detail, focusing on the figures who are gathered closely, likely seated on benches or pews.
