Marshal Petain

Jean-Louis Forain, kb. 1914/1919

The image shows a sketch of a person from the waist up. The person is standing upright, looking slightly to their left with a confident posture. They have a distinct facial profile with a noticeable mustache and a bald head. The person is wearing a light-colored buttoned tunic that resembles a uniform. The surroundings depict a barren landscape with sandy or desert-like terrain. To the left, there is another figure, less defined and possibly seated. The background features a dark, swirling cloud-filled sky contrasting with the sandy ground.
