Español: Dos fisonomías según Charles Le Brun

Dibujo a pluma y tinta sobre papel beige que muestra dos cabezas humanas de perfil orientadas a la izquierda, una superpuesta a la otra, con cejas pesadas, ojos grandes, narices largas y cabello ondulado. Trazos sueltos sombrean cuellos y hombros, y los rostros muestran expresiones exageradas propias de un estudio fisonómico.
