Guy Pène Du Bois

Man and Girl
1922

Illustration of a young woman in a sleeveless dress seated next to an older man in formal attire with a bow tie and tuxedo. The woman appears to be looking intently at the man, who is turned towards her with a profile view showing his bald head. The artwork is rendered in a sketch-like style with shading and highlights, and there is a signature in the bottom right corner. The background is minimalistic, emphasizing the two figures.
