About this work
A pen and ink drawing shows a bearded, curly-haired man lounging in a chair at a crowded formal gathering while a woman in a full gown leans toward him. Onlookers in evening dress, several holding fans, watch from around the room, and a handwritten caption beneath the scene adds commentary. The work is by George Du Maurier, dated 1887, and was made for the satirical magazine Punch.
