This sketch shows two men in a dimly lit room. One man, wearing a tall black hat and a long coat, is reaching out toward a table with food. The other man, with a cane, seems to be handing him something. A small dog lies on the floor nearby, and the room looks like a café or dining area. The title at the top, *La Journée du Célibataire*, hints this might be about a lonely man’s day. The exaggerated faces and loose lines make the scene feel funny and full of personality. Next, check out lithography to see how this sketch was made.
