Six degrés au-dessous de zéro...

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two people from head to toe. The person on the left is leaning forward, looking out of a window and holding the curtain aside with both hands. This person has a receding hairline with short, slightly messy hair, wearing a long-sleeved, loose-fitting shirt and tight pants. On the right, another person stands slightly hunched, with hands clasped in front of their chest. This individual has shoulder-length hair, wearing a long dress with sleeves. Both individuals are barefoot. The background features a heavily shaded room with a window on the left side, partially covered by dark curtains. The window allows light to cast upon the floor, creating contrast against the shaded interior.
