Butler and Maid Resting 

This charcoal drawing, "Butler and Maid Resting" by Jean-Louis Forain, is a characteristically satirical work that captures the weariness of domestic service. The figures, depicted with loose, gestural lines, are slumped in exhaustion, suggesting a life of drudgery. Forain's style, influenced by Impressionism and Japonisme, evokes a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. The piece reflects the artist's social commentary on the lives of working-class people in 19th-century France.
