About this work

This image shows a black lithograph on thin japan paper, titled "Les Tuileries." It depicts a group of people standing in front of a building, with a tree branch hanging down from the top left corner. The people are dressed in long coats and hats, and they seem to be looking at something in the distance. The scene is set against a simple background, with no other details visible. The focus is on the group of people and their interaction with each other and their surroundings. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of texture and depth in the image, drawing the viewer's eye to the figures and their movements.
