Quand on pense...

Paul Gavarni

National Gallery of Art

The illustration depicts a man and a woman seated on a couch. The man is holding a drawing pad or a book, with his head slightly bowed. The woman is sitting closely beside him, with her upper body leaning towards him and her right arm resting on his shoulder. The man has short, dark hair and a beard, while the woman has curly hair falling around her face. The man is dressed in a jacket, shirt, patterned trousers, and slip-on shoes. The woman wears a dress with voluminous sleeves. They are seated on a cushioned couch with a simple patterned fabric. The background is minimal, with a fabric curtain partially drawn on the left side.
