Séquestré

Adolphe Léon Willette

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two connected scenes with accompanying text. The upper scene depicts an interior with two figures interacting, potentially suggesting a stage or performance. The lower scene shows a domestic setting with figures by a writing desk and sitting, with open windows framing a scene outside. The styles employ light satire with an etched or sketched quality. The additional section titled "Séquêstre" includes a solitary figure by a window, paired with handwritten text in the lower right corner.
