Description

This print was published both in the journal Le Boulevard (September 21, 1862) and in the album Souvenirs d’Artistes (plate 361).
A horizontally oriented print in black ink depicts two people with light skin in a dark interior. On the left, a man in a top hat and striped trousers sits with arms crossed and a cigar emitting large smoke clouds. To his right, a woman in a bonnet and shawl sits with wide eyes looking toward him. A window reveals a landscape on our far right. Initials and French text mark the bottom.
