A man is smashing a framed picture with a hammer. The painting inside shows a small, serious-looking figure. The room looks messy—books, papers, and broken frames are scattered on the floor. The title at the top reads *Emotions Parisiennes*, and the man’s angry gesture suggests he’s destroying his own work. The word "refuse" is written on the painting he’s attacking. Next, look up lithography to see how this sketch was made.
