Which One? (Lequel?)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image is a black and white sketch showing a scene indoors. On the left, there are at least two figures sitting with their heads turned towards the right side. Their upper bodies are visible, and their hair is obscured by lines. A chalice-like object sits on a nearby surface. To their right stands a full-bodied skeleton, depicted with clear anatomical lines. The skeleton is upright with an open-mouthed skull. The background is filled with dense, hatched lines.
