Caricature of Léon Manchon, charcoal and chalk drawing
A charcoal and white chalk caricature on grey-blue paper shows a bearded man in profile with an enlarged head and slender body, set among mock notices reading 'Maison à vendre' and 'Notaire à marier.' Below, a small bust and a framed picture rest on a table, and a signature appears at lower left; the record names the sitter as Léon Manchon.
