Le petit épicier (Chandlery)

Eugène Delâtre

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a young person from the waist up, facing the viewer with a slight head tilt. They have delicate facial features and wear a large, round, flat cap that covers most of their hair. The person is dressed in a dark coat with a high collar and a necktie or ribbon tied in a bow. The background includes wooden structures and gardening tools like a broom and bucket, hinting at an outdoor or garden setting. The image is on a plain piece of paper with a signature in the bottom right corner.
