Lolo qu'aimes-tu mieux de ton papa ou de ta maman...

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three people focusing on their upper bodies. On the left, an older man stands with his hands in his pockets, leaning slightly forward. He has a prominent nose and chin, with deep-set eyes and curly, short hair. He is wearing a high-collared shirt and a jacket. Beside him, a woman leans into the man's side, her upper body turned slightly to the right. She has a serene expression, eyes closed, with a bonnet covering her head and some dark hair visible. Her clothing includes a high-necked gown with full sleeves. Her arm is extended in front of her, and her hand is placed on the head of a child. The child is seated at a table, holding a plate close to their face while looking upwards and to the side with a slightly anxious expression. The child has wavy hair, wears a garment with a simple round collar, and there is a loaf of bread and a tall glass next to them on the table. The background is a plain, sketch-like backdrop with text at the top right, indicating "CROQUIS D'EXPRESSIONS No 32." The overall style is monochromatic with a sketched appearance.
