Alphonse Legros

The image shows two individuals seated close to each other. They are framed from about the knees up, with their hands resting on their laps. The person on the left has a soft, rounded facial structure and wears a headscarf. The person on the right tilts their head slightly downwards and to the side. Both individuals wear voluminous cloaks. Between them, there is a large basket with a braided handle on a flat surface. The background consists of simple, crosshatched lines.
