About this work

This sketch shows a man in old-fashioned clothes handing a prize to a boy who’s holding a wreath. The man looks happy, almost surprised, while the boy bends over to receive it. Behind them, shelves hold books and framed papers with writing on them. The title *Actualités* hints this might be about award ceremonies—maybe for school or art contests. The messy, quick lines suggest the artist worked fast, maybe to capture real moments. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
