This sketch shows two people sitting in what looks like a simple room. One person is hunched over, holding their head with one hand. The other person stands nearby, facing away. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show folds in their clothing. The drawing on the back is signed "Forain," which matches the artist’s name. The rough, sketchy style suggests it might be a quick study rather than a finished work. If you like this style, check out more works by Forain, Jean-Louis.
