Gare les Quilles

Jean-Ignace-Isidore Grandville

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring oversized and miniature figures. The scene includes a large woman in a gown holding a ball, small figures in uniform walking in formation, and a large seated man in formal attire holding a cane. The figures have exaggerated features and the background is minimal. The text "GARE LES QUILLES" adds humor or caution to the scene.
