Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals in a dimly lit room. The first person is seated in a large chair, dressed in period clothing. Beside them, there is a table with a lit candle. The second person is standing by a curtain, partially obscured, wearing formal attire and holding a hat. In the background, a doorway reveals more people in another room. The room is decorated with heavy curtains and a framed picture on the wall.
