Feuilles d'Anes du Midi is a 1873 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows five stick-like figures walking in a line. Two on the left look like donkeys, one holds a hat, and the others wear long coats and hats. Behind them, a town with spires and buildings is drawn in quick, rough lines. The sky is filled with chaotic scribbles, like wind or noise. The title, *Feuilles d'Anes du Midi*, means "Fool's Leaves of the South"—maybe a joke about the messy drawing. The artist signed it "Luchon 1873," but the real name is Buhot.
