L'Inspecteur Général Revizor

Hermann-Paul

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of five male figures depicted from the waist up. The men are in close proximity, appearing to be engaged in a conversation. The figure on the left wears a bowler hat and a coat, sporting a mustache and angular facial features. Next to him, two men are wearing military-style caps; they have beards and their expressions are partially obscured by the beards and shading. The central figure has distinct facial hair and a large mustache, and he is dressed in a uniform with noticeable buttons. He appears to be gesturing with his hand. The two figures on the right also wear hats and have long beards, with one seemingly looking at the central figure. The background is a beige-colored paper with printed text filling the right and left margins, detailing information about a play titled "L’Inspecteur Général 'REVIZOR'."
