Students in the Latin Quarter, Paris is a 1858 graphite by Elihu Vedder, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows two men in a room, one sitting on the floor and the other lying on a couch. The man on the floor is wearing a hat and holding a pipe, while the man on the couch is holding a book. There's a trunk in the corner of the room. The drawing is done in graphite and red colored pencil on green paper. It's a simple but detailed depiction of everyday life.
