One of a collection of 26 theatrical lithographs. This shows two unnamed actors from the Comédie-Française in the characters of Michau and Henri in the 'parti de la Chasse' of Henri IV. It appears to be night time scene as one character is shining a lantern on the face of the other, and the caption below demands "Qu-étes-vous? Allons, qu'étes-vous?".
The lithographer is not named but all the lithographs appear to have been published by Robert Sayer, London (1772).
